> the tech to spin up a competitor is extremely cheap and commodity.

This is the part that makes me the most mad. The delivery companies have almost no value as business entities, all of their value is in the technology, and the technology is not complicated at all.

The job that's being done by doordash and grubhub and all of them would be accomplished much more affordably, sustainably, and ethically with a marketing co-op, which is already pretty common in the food industry in America (Blue Diamond, Land o Lakes, Ocean Spray, Sunkist, Sun-maid, Tillamook, Welch's, etc). There's no need for a separate VC-backed for-profit here, a simple confederation of restauranteurs would work fine and be just as effective and way better for the whole marketplace.
