They pose it like a moral question that is wrong. Restaurants left with ugly payments to 'delivery apps' sounds bad, but most of the reason is delivery is expensive! The bulk of the cost here is not some magical money-making software, it's the time, effort, gas, wear and tear, energy of someone delivering. Most delivery app companies are losing money anyhow. A better approach might be to strongly deregulate delivery and taxi services. Let anyone do it, have some industry-standard practices (i.e. you have to register, certain vehicles for certain things, some minimum pricing laws etc.) and then let's see how that works. Restaurants can literally order a regular taxi for food delivery and such general taxis could be used for a lot of things.
