This makes sense. It provides a signal of seriousness by cost.
Coincidentally, my neighbor is working on a dating app that instead verifies income sheet and/or balance sheet as a proxy filter for people who want to date similar HNWIs. (It's anti-sugar*.)
Perhaps one day there will be a dating app that pairs people by appearance, stats, and interactive personality match by machine learning and does a real background check while blinding the biases of visual and profile particulars before in-person meeting so the focus is on real communication, not who's the most attractive or the best comedian. Failing that, it's easier, simpler, and cheaper to talk to people in the real world.
