Why would I care how they divided their money between the platform, the driver, and the company holiday party at HQ?

I don't need nor even want to know how much Dunkin Donuts pays to make a donut or Exxon to buy, refine, and truck a gallon of gasoline to me.

Dunkin Donuts and Exxon provide all of the land, buildings, vehicles and materials their employees use to conduct business and turn a profit. Uber and Lyft not so much

More than half of Exxon's trucking is not company owned. All their filling stations are not company owned at this point (I believe that's accurate). The overwhelming majority of Dunkin locations are franchised as well. I don't care how they split the money up; I only care whether what they offer is worth the price they're asking to me.
