The point wasn't that delivery fees exist, but that they seem to be increasing to the point where a municipal government felt the need to step in and do something about it. For those who are housebound or otherwise unable to pick up food from restaurants on their own, these increased fees are a high burden that is inescapable. Granted, they could simply not order food, but that then puts a different kind of burden (i.e., quality of life) on those folks.
I'm not suggesting DoorDash, et al, need to change their model, but merely pointing out that this burden affects a certain segment of the population differently than the rest.
