Those are not technology companies. They are logistic companies with some IT integration. And it's a bit different than with Uber: There, a lot of the resistance was indeed to protect a monopoly that was bad for customers. But food delivery? That worked just fine before those companies arrived.

Taxi worked too. The way too capped supply taxi market is a US problem.

> But food delivery? That worked just fine before those companies arrived. Depends where you live, for me, it worked for pizza and that's about it. I was unable to get pretty much anything else delivered locally, now I've got a few dozen options. Most restaurants just wouldn't bother hiring additional staff to do delivery. Even big chain fastfood places like Subway and McDonalds weren't available for delivery here before Uber Eats picked them up.
