In my house, we make good use of delivery for one major reason: sports.

Sometimes theres no dinner ready and in the hecticness of life, we forget to cook the night before so we get into an unfortunate situation of either going hungry until the game ends or cooking and miss the game.

Delivery solves this issue. Take out is definitely faster, but that usually means missing part of whatever game is on. My case obviously isn't universal but given the popularity of sports and how primetime games are only an hour or so after you get home from work, Id think there's a non negligible amount of people with similar situations.

Or get a DVR and pause the TV whilst you get some food.

Some people might not like this since you'll be several minutes behind "live", but an advantage is you can skip any ads and commentary you don't like and catch up to live to see the final play at the same time as everyone else. I don't know if any PVRs still allow watching "live" at 1.25x or 1.5x speed, but if they do (like MythTV did/does) you can also condense a show into the time you have available and still watch the ending live.

I care about food more than sports. Which is easy, since I don't care about sports.

But, interestingly, there are other people in the world that feel differently than you.

Increasingly less, considering millenial attitudes towards ESPN and the like compared to previous generations at their age.
