Well yes being a middle man and taking a percentage of each transaction is winning the lottery.

You can see this happening with food delivery apps. When you become the biggest in America or Europe everyone who wants a pizza delivered has to go through your system.

What I see with food delivery is what I see with ride-sharing - people price arbitrage, using many apps and choosing the cheapest.
