Really?
In my area, single people also use Hinge, Bumble, CoffeeMeetsBagel, OKCupid, POF, Match... I'm fugly as hell but even I was able to find someone on a non-Tinder platform.

So while they may be options in some market, I'd be curious how long before they share bans between services.
I don't think that's true. Tinder doesn't control the dating app market, nor would it be a problem, per se, if they did.
And yes, it'd be a massive problem if Tinder controlled it in that it'd put an unaccountable company in control of whether or not people get access. And one with a history of refusing to engage people who feel wronged.
If Match expands that to its other properties then it becomes a problem even if Tinder alone doesn't dominate.
-Bumble, OKCupid, POF, Match: 40+ only.
-CoffeeMeetsBagel: ?
All of these are owned by Match Group, the same parent company as Tinder.
