"Which the vast bulk of people don't use either."
Who the hell said they did? These are long-standing and economically viable businesses - that was my only point.

I think the contention is they’re not able to produce margins capable of returning what a VC or public company would need to for investors to make it worth their while.
Which the vast bulk of people don't use either. I'm sure there's some market and I've seen market research that suggests grocery delivery is something that will hang around at higher levels post-COVID. (Though the same report also highlighted home cooking, not food delivery.)
I admittedly don't have great food delivery options where I live. But getting most prepared food delivered isn't something I find very interesting at all.
