That is true. What is also true is that having things delivered to you is not free, and the prices of the goods cannot be same for delivery vs warehousing in a store.

Sure it can.

I'm not saying it's free but it's not a foregone conclusion that 100% (or any percent) of that cost must be passed on to the consumer.

If a manufacturer/distributor/restaurant is willing to accept lower margins for the increased reach and market access, they will.
