This is rich. It's called a market and there are consequences for interfering. There is a cost to providing goods and services, and if the business is barred from charging above the COGS, the business will predictably cease the loss making activity. What did you expect?

Most of the gig delivery companies are already operating at a loss. I think limiting commissions voluntarily right now is a good idea, but this is the consequence of making it even more unprofitable for them. I agree it may be retaliatory but they obviously want to send a message
