Not just work - there is real life too. Try an 8 hour day book-ended by several hours of childcare. You start at 6am then it is go-go-go with kids-work-kids until 8-9pm. There is not time to then fit in a grocery shop (plus are you going to leave kids alone in the house asleep while you hit the shops?) then cooking.

Does 10-minute-delivery offer value over next-day delivery in that situation though?

Yep - thanks to services like these. Just telling people "not to burnout at work!" or "take time for yourself!" is shortsighted as it is not just work that causes burnout, but lots of people have responsibilities as well as their work life. You name it - single parents, carer responsibilities, multiple-jobs, etc these are not things that can just be opted-out of to get some "me time" to avoid burnout.
