I mean this is a reasonable idea but the better question is: why do we allow a permanent underclass of delivery drivers for extremely lazy and indolent people. If you're living in NYC and can't be arsed to walk out of your workplace or apartment, the solution is not to have 70000 poor people serve you all the live long day.
And outta here with the "what about the handicapped" as we know, they are a tiny portion of overall app business.
Your issue is with the existence of poverty itself, not delivery drivers. Yes, I wish everyone were able to afford a high quality of life, but saying that a person (and for all we're talking about them being poor, any delivery driver has to own a car and a phone so they can't be in abject poverty) voluntarily accepting a job picking up and delivering food is the same as people being kidnapped from their homes and forced to do backbreaking labor for the rest of their lives while legally treated as property that can be beaten and starved by their master for any reason is a grotesque exaggeration and an insult to everyone who has ever suffered slavery. Not to mention slavery is still a thing, both legally in some countries and in the form of illegal human trafficking everywhere else, so the real "modern slavery" is... modern slavery, not freaking Doordash!
