>this implementation just ensures that there will be a lot more "27 year olds" on the service.
which ultimately hurts the service as nobody will be able to know who is 27 and who is older than 27

It also seems likely that by incentivizing users to lie about their age, Tinder will create an entire zone of fake ages between something like 25-27, where users do not want to be grouped in with all of the "27 year olds" so they go year(s) lower. Thus, eliminating user trust for ages of anyone at numbers approaching 27.
