My ex did, and was of limited funds. I think the answer is depression, apathy, and a good dose of financial illiteracy.

Definitely financial illiteracy.

I can afford it but refuse to use those services. They inflate the menu prices, add fees. I'm ok with tipping but not the rest of that.

Also, it's ridiculously inefficient compared to picking it up yourself. It's not just someone else is doing the drive for you. The delivery does work for the store so there is extra driving occurring, deadheading in trucker parlance.

Going to the restaurant and back is the same distance for you as it is for the driver going from the restaurant and back.

That only applies if they live at your house, and only deliver to you for thier entire shift, otherwise they have dead space to cover as part of being able to do delivery between other customers, restaurants and going home. That makes it not the same.
