it's because 'hyphen-use' or 'dating-app' is used as a compound adjective, and most style guides say to hyphenate these when they are before the modified noun

two facing pages (48 and 49) from the graphic novel "A Cat Story" by Ursula Murray Husted.  Each page has 4 panels. On the left page a white cat with black spots travels through the streets of Malta towards a bus station, the largest picture is of a fountain with water coming out of the mouth of a bearded figure.  On the right page, 4 panels show the white and black cat at the bus station asking a gray cat about how to get to the ferry.  Dialog:
Excuse me.
Do any of these buses go to the ferry?
Those three do
If you're going to the ferry, that's a pretty long trip to take by yourself.
You be careful, now.
Thank you...
