For environmental/waste reasons? It's not obvious that the world is better served by you driving to the supermarket yourself instead of someone else doing it for you.
Sure, maybe you were passing by anyway, and can combine multiple trips. But the economies of scale mostly work the other way: the delivery driver can deliver to multiple households, the supermarket can deliver straight from a warehouse instead of spending time stacking shelves optimized for display.
Or do you just think people these days shouldn't be so damn lazy as to need someone else to do their grocery shopping? Perhaps they should also grow their own food and sew their own clothes.
