I guess I just assume that Tinder could predict with pretty high accuracy which two people would want to match with each other and then determine whether to show those people to each other, based on numerous factors, one especially being how much someone pays.

Do you think Tinder is blind to which people are likely to match with each other?

Fair in that maybe it's too complex/not straightforward enough to regulate as other gambling is and maybe similar to video game pay-to-win dynamics, however I still think there is the ability to pull certain levers to control people's sensations of "winning" even if it requires matching two sides.
