I ran a big (for the region) general (as in not niche) dating site and I would say it is more nuanced than that. By far most people complaining that they did not get any interest had minimal profiles. When they wrote more, they got more. When they wrote too much, it went down again. So minimum as in; the minimum to entice, and I would say most people do not know what that is, so they write too little or too much as a result. Probably the same for resumes.

Your last point is probably accurate. I write professionally and have done so for 12+ years at this point.
I guess the tricky part is hitting the balance of writing just enough but not any more.
