Does the reason why delivery services aren't profitable actually matter as long as it's not "paper unprofitable" (i.e. they're unprofitable because they pay large sums as licensing fees to a wholly owned subsidiary)? The important part is that they're not profitable.
It costs money to run the services and someone has to pay for that. It's in these services' interest (as well as all stakeholders: couriers, consumers, and restaurants) to keep those costs as low as possible.
Perhaps the entirety of the cost should be shifted to the end user. Legally mandating caps on commissions would force that shift to happen to some degree. I'm not opposed to such a shift.
