I see your point and agree, for the best food you will want to go and find a table near the kitchen. However much of the market doesn't prioritize the best food

I see your point and agree, for the best food you will want to go and find a table near the kitchen. However much of the market doesn't prioritize the best food as highly as convenience. They will happily order for delivery and get food of a somewhat lower quality for the added convenience. Even if delivery is more expensive than managing dine-in customers they will be willing to pay for that convenience
For example I often have friends over and it often makes more sense to order in than busy myself with cooking or traveling to a restaurant and coming back to continue our game/karaoke/whatever.
I think there is a large market and various points along the quality/price/convenience tradeoff have the ability to be profitable. There will probably always be a market for fine-dining and always be a market for delivery. There will also be a market for various points in between.
