The same logic extends however far you feel like making it extend, though.

Imagine being in a world where you can wave your finger over some little glass shard, and a hot meal of your choosing is prepared for you, and all you have to do is go get it. Obviously it's absurd to imagine that anyone would ever want it to also be brought to them.

Yes, you can extend the logic forever, however that ignores the obvious and enormous power differential between the two parties.

The first has to go down and get their food, a minor inconvienience.

The other has to risk losing their delivery vehicle / property when it gets stolen while they are in the building (an enormous, possibly income-destroying inconvienience)

I'm saying that the person in the building should maybe have a little gratitude for their position and empathy for the delivery driver
