Isn't all of this equally true for the variety of other Uber-for-X companies? (and hell, Uber itself)

What makes Deliveroo any worse of a business than Grubhub, Door Dash or Just Eat or Uber Eats or...

When I order with Just Eat the food is generally delivered by a driver employed/paid directly by the restaurant. When I order with Deliveroo the food is generally delivered by a driver employed/paid by Deliveroo.

(There do seem to be exceptions to the above for some restaurants)

Some of the current debate touches on the commission that gets charged which I guess is similar for the two, however much seems to be about treatment of the delivery drivers which would be more of a difference if Just East don't (usually/always?) employ/pay them directly.
