"A lot of money" here is probably $500: https://www.thecut.com/article/how-to-pitch-the-cut.html .
It's more frustrating to me that thecut.com can parade a mental illness around for engagement (and I'm indeed engaged) and make five to six figures in revenue from a single viral article/carnival act.

Selection effects are likely significant here. If high income people are disproportionately likely to get married, it could simply be a case of "the top 1% of the top 50% has a higher average than the top 1% of the whole."
Probably it's a combination of both.

Even in San Francisco, I would bet that the average male nurse would get more opposite sex matches online than the average male SWE, which is as good a proxy for status as any. The only place that wouldn't hold is if you work for a number of prestige companies you could count on one hand (and, no, Meta and Google aren't there).

if your recovery requires other people to orient their bodies around your triggers, your recovery is not going well
Ortega's recovery clearly isn't going well, but the essay raises a question for me: has anyone investigated GLP-1s and their effects on disordered eating? A WeGovy Rx might genuinely be what Ortega needs (since she broke the dam of getting overly involved in others' medical decisions). It silences exactly the kind of compulsive addiction patterns that might be involved in eating disorders. If it helps with alcohol, nicotine, and gambling addiction, why not eating disorders too?

Americans get access to ridiculously opulent luxuries, like air conditioning and closets.
You left out the "borderline retarded 16 year old guy looking for a friend."
