The home-grown app in Tulsa will never have the capital for marketing and sales reps that allow it to capture a healthy market share of restaurants.
And if they do somehow make it, once they become the market leader, they're going to start asking for a larger portion of the pie. That's how business works, be it in Tulsa or SV.

Most businesses that aren't market leaders have to offer new or upsold products and services to grow because they can't throw around their monopoly power. If you control 0.01% of the the entire delivery food sales market, and you raise middleman fees 3x, your (restaurant) customers will take a hike and switch to a different, cheaper delivery app. If you control 75% of the market, your customers might be more willing to accept the increased fees.

If there's even the slifhtest whiff of lock-in the executives in any sufficiently large organization start milking their customers to enhance their personal portfolio even at the immediate (not to mention the long-term) detriment of the organization itself.
