I don't understand why trademarks are insufficient to prevent this. Why didn't restaurants file a class action lawsuit against food delivery services to stop misusing their names?

I think this law is great, but it kind of legitimises impersonation unless explicitly banned by law.

I think this is just a practical matter: the legal system is not as accessible as you might hope it is.
