This is an incredibly US-biased comment, plus the comment you responded to even spelled out explicitly that they walk to their local restaurants...

He only walks to some, not all. And I don't live in the US, so if it's incredibly US biased, I just got lucky, I guess.

Yes, to those that don't have delivery options. What makes delivery organized by the restaurant more wasteful than the delivery by someone working for a gig-economy app?

Because the restaurant can't combine its orders with those of its competitors in one run. Economies of scale.
