Not to start a holy war, but I’m curious when you consider the pandemic to have ended.

There are paywall bypass browsers extensions. I don't even notice when a site has a paywall.

After reading TFA, I'm surprised post-pandemic food service delivery usage is as high as it is today (in the ballpark of pandemic highs):

This seems positive for the future of the market sector.
Personally I avoid the delivery apps if at all possible, because I've learned it's usually a masochistic exercise in signing up for disappointment (and cooking a Simple Meal isn't really that hard, lol). I admit the dream of hot and fresh food delivered on demand is an appealing dream.
In the meantime, enjoy that not-even-lukewarm burrito.
