My building allows it and it certainly is convenient, and I think the safety thing is overblown. But honestly, the temperature argument is an extremely weak one. Food arrives, you go grab it, within a couple of minutes you’re right back at your apartment eating it. Your apps are telling you when the food has arrived so it’s on you if you leave it to cool down.

I imagine deliverers like it too—faster turnaround at buildings means less delays and more orders completed in an hour.

If anything, I’d argue for accessibility aspects. People who are disabled, injured, unwell, have babies or small children, are elderly, etc—all of these groups have a much harder time popping out of the apartment and might want the flexibility of getting good delivered directly.
