In fairness to the restaurants, Uber Eats and its competitors take a pretty good chunk of the price of the food. Restaurants run on thin margins. The commission that these food apps demand can make the difference between the delivery being profitable or not profitable. Plus, the restaurant loses the ability to completely control the experience the customer gets. If the pizza sits around for half an hour before it gets picked up, gets to the customer cold, and then the customer complains, how is that the restaurant's fault? I'm not negating your point: it is a pain and a risk to install a dozen apps. But I also understand why they do it.
