In the US servers are typically paid a much lower minimum wage like $2 an hour than a fast food worker vs. $7+ (depends on State/location). Tips are basically required to have a living wage. While they may be the one to hand you the takeout bag it feels a little silly to pay them 15%+ to have them hand a bag over and there was no expectation for it pre-COVID. Serving is a more time intensive task. Yes, it is kind of silly in general. What's worse is where I live in Canada servers get paid the same but there's still this weird expectation to tip them.
