Shifting the cost onto the delivery service is actually good. Pretty much all delivery is done by a few large companies. The only exception are things like Grubhub/Doordash which put the fuel costs on the individual worker. A fuel tax across the board would no doubt just result in a price increase that would compensate the drivers since it would be a uniform tax. Outside of specific areas where gig services are regulated - using things like Grubhub/Uber. does cause harm to the poorer, worker because after accounting for costs and vehicle depreciation the profit is less than minimum wage. I would not be surprised if the profit is negative part of the time. The way to not cause this harm is to not use these services e.g. make your own food at home.
