I heard that, on old OKCupid, when you ranked someone’s appearance as 5 out of 5, it would tell that person that you did so—which would have the effect of discouraging women from giving a 5 out of 5 to someone that they didn’t also want to send a giant “I THINK YOU’RE HOT” signal to.
9s and 10s may also be people who are high school or college age (or how one remembers one’s high school or college peers as looking) and thus not suitable for an adult to actually date.
I’d guess that the 9s and 10s are celebrities, who most people don’t encounter in dating apps but do see on TV and movies.

They’re also people that the viewer has (para)social relationships with.
