But there is the cost of hosting, developers, drivers, etc.

And that's all cost that is not borne by the restaurant.

And there is a limit to how much people would pay to get something delivered. So they're probably pricing the delivery, etc less than they've actually paid.

We've seen this before and we'll see it again. There are lots of people who will pay for things below cost. Sometimes that cost comes down but a lot of the time it does not especially in relatively affluent countries. I don't have a personal driver or chef like I might have in some places. I do have some other house/yard services but very occasionally and I consider them luxuries.
