Try to articulate a logic explanation for this behaviour when you start with the premiss that both parties know it is a meaningless gesture.
The only one I can come up with is she thinks she has to / it is expected of her. So that leads to the question why would she think it is expected of her?

Also im my experience it is close to 0% of girls on actual dates make the fake offer to pay. If it is friends or a pickup / run into a girl then it goes up a lot but actual formal dates it is almost never.
