Do dating apps fall into this at all?

On the face of the policy viewed in isolation, if they facilitate paid one-on-one encounters, yes, if they facilitate paid one-to-few or one-to-many encounters, no.

But I'm pretty sure pay-per-date apps of either type have bigger legal and App Store policy issues than whether the payment must be made via IAP with the Apple Tax.

Are you paying the person you date or are you paying the dating app?
Only if they're paying for dates
Not for throuples apparently.
If you are doing person to person cash transactions via a app, you aren't dating.
depends on whether they're person-to-person or person-to-many.
