I just don’t get why people keep ordering from them. It’s not that hard to throw a steak in a pan or whatever.

People are creatures of habit and gravitate towards path of least resistance.

In my extended family, it's a huge generational gap, with those under 30 using the apps constantly and those over 30 only using traditional delivery from pizza and Chinese restaurants that have their own drivers. One of the weirdest experiences was when my nephew had milk and a couple other items delivered only a couple of hours after he got home from his job at a grocery store. Guess he didn't think about getting those items at the end of his shift. The delivery apps seem to have integrated themselves into their way of thinking how food gets to the house. It's a bit odd for me as I'm not part of that generation.

It's harder than sitting on your ass and having someone else do it for you.

The best tasting ingredient in a dish is “someone else made it”

Aw you actually think everybody has the means and the desire to do that. Love that for you.
