I don't get how you can think this while at the same time agreeing with the argument that they might be showing insufficiently "woke" people fewer matches...which would also impact the success of the platform.

Disenfranchising people with wrong-think is something all mainstream platforms do. They allow them to flounder in silence, shadowban, etc. That way they can reinforce their message that X views are unpopular, it's a plausibly deniable action they wouldn't get bad press for. Even if someone like Veritas exposes it (and they often do), the mainstream news never talks about it - cause they agree with it.

Matching people with opposite minded folks would result in loud failure / which would dissuade people they want to serve from using the service due to expectations of being paired with someone that has opposite beliefs.
