Because it's better for the environment. Washing dishes is barely any effort. Do you have no concern for the planet at all?

I don't care enough about the infinitesimal impact of an individual using plastic silverware to want to go wash a fork, no. I don't feel the externalities of the decision come anywhere close to outweighing the convenience. Convenience being the whole point of food delivery.

I keep all the extra cutlery and napkins I get in a drawer and reuse them. Haven't had to buy paper towels in a long time.

True, but there's a difference between saving upwards of 30 minutes cooking time vs saving 30 seconds washing a plate...
