For most consumer products there's no fee transparency at all. When I buy a cabbage, I just get a price, not a detailed breakdown of how much money goes to the farmer, delivery truck driver, and grocery store. It might be higher or lower depending on where I shop, and I might be willing to pay more if the store is nicer or more convenient or I think they're more socially responsible. But I don't get the idea that transparency as such is an imperative here.
If market conditions change and consumers have to be more diligent with their money, or funding conditions change and the delivery apps all discover that their business models are unsustainable, presumably customers can simply start ordering directly from restaurants again if that's the best way to get the food they want. It doesn't seem like there are any structural barriers to that.
