Little confused as to why you chose their comment as the place to mention this downside.

Their story is about a situation where they gave explicit authorisation. They intentionally paid.

That's true. Being able to undo an authorised payment if the other party doesn't fulfil their end of the bargain is absolutely an advantage over other forms of payment.

In the Deliveroo case, however, it's the inherent insecurity of credit cards that made that problem possible in the first place. In light of that, the ubiquity of credit cards for online payments where data is so easily copied and leaked, never ceases to puzzle me.
