> Competition can lower the industry rates for food & personal travel, though I suspect there is price fixing at play right now.

Considering (food & human) delivery is already a notoriously unprofitable industry, I think the more likely answer is that competition already occurred and these are somewhat fair prices we are left with.

Apple on the other hand, can host an app download on the app store without paying a human to use a depreciating asset (that burns fossil fuels) to travel several miles in meatspace.
