The barn door needs to be closed. I don't care if it means there won't be more doordashes if the only way those companies can exist is by scamming customers and exploiting restaurants. I don't see why this is a problem. They're called "growth hacks" for a reason. If your concern is that people won't be able to compete with DoorDash now without breaking the law, maybe DoorDash should be penalized for past misbehavior... If you follow this "but banning this will prevent competition!" logic to its conclusion now it's logically inappropriate to make all sorts of things illegal because fraudsters got rich doing them and it would prevent competition. Personally I think it's possible for delivery apps to succeed without breaking the law. Similarly I believe a cab-hailing app can succeed without breaking the law. The fact that the big players in both markets have made "regulatory arbitrage" and lawbreaking a core part of their business model (protected by massive amounts of venture capital and highly paid lawyers) is not a reason to get rid of the laws they broke.
