I think the problem is you're taking a comment where someone described someone they know actively financially ruining themselves to order doordash instead of buying and cooking food and injecting your own specific situation into it.
Are you also going into debt and skipping meals because you exclusively order ready made food and sometimes can't afford your ready made food orders? That's what the poster you replied to was describing. Now if that is the situation you're in, then it's clearly time to start looking at what you can do to get out of that hole, whether that's buying food infrequently from a grocer and maybe even hiring a friend or family member to do the meal prep for you, leaning heavily into meal prep and freezing, etc. but that's ultimately up to you to determine and find the best path out of.
But from your comments it doesn't sound like this is your situation. It sounds like your challenges are more related to commute and cost of living than over-ordering prepared food delivery. Again, only you can ultimately determine the best solution to these challenges but I sincerely hope you can find a way out other than hoping for some societal scale shakeup to the current order of things
