Agree and disagree. Things that bring joy are worth it (as long as it can be afforded). However, I never think food delivery are worth it unless its a group order or someone is physically or mentally unable to pick up their food. Its much cheaper to pick it up yourself. Also, these food delivery services are absolute vultures and take too much of restaurant cut. If you want to support your local eats just go to them directly.
There’s also the issue of temperature. Not really in terms of safety but just enjoyment.
Food that’s supposed to be hot or cold (think a hot pancake breakfast or cold ice cream) is going to come to you as if it were sitting out on the table when you arrived at the restaurant, or in the case of ice cream will be a soupy mess that’s no longer ice cold.
And the cherry on top of it all is that you paid close to double for this horrid experience.

Sometimes, part of the joy of ordering delivery is sitting on my fatass and having food magically appear in front of me.
I am aware of the price increase, but thats the price of being lazy.
