None of the examples you're listing are 2x; those are 1.4x, 1.6x, 1x, and 1.7x. The prices you're listing are also lower than what I see in the cheap grocery stores here, not sure why?

(They also are delivering to consumers; we've been putting in a weekly order and it's a way better experience than Instacart.)

1.4x - 1.7x is less sales which happen on perishables all the time

No idea. I don't even remember the last time I got onions for over $0.55/lb.

That's because very few consumers are getting this delivery though I'm with you, they are definitely competing with instacart.
