Agreed. I don't think it makes sense to order food from a place that's a 30 minute drive away, but unfortunately in bigger cities with traffic this is the norm as of today. By the time the food makes it to you, it's lukewarm and has lost some of its appeal. A first world problem, but also one of the simple joys of food. Maybe with cloud kitchens we'll be able to improve kitchen proximity, and we'll improve the containers that the food is delivered in. Not to mention that most of the containers used for delivery are not biodegradable and, I imagine, generate a ton of extra trash.
