Public libraries are also very useful. Doesn't mean they have to make money.

Or arguably it's the issue with running then as an unregulated business to begin with. It'd almost be better if it was just run as a public/non-profit database service: here's an anonymised, clinical, filterable list of other people who are looking for a relationship, and a safe way to connect with them. Like all other online services it'd be killed off by bots, trolls, and creeps, but still... If it's in the public's general interest for people to be in relationships?

So you're an author and the only thing between a billion dollar studio and a royalty-free production of your work (that you have no creative input into) is your own death. And you'd feel fine and safe with that because "murder is illegal"?

It's hard to get away unnoticed with producing a work that infringes copyright, since they tend to have to be released to the public, and from a known source. Getting away with murder is a cinch in comparison.
