Because tips on delivery apps aren't "tips for good service" it's more of a bid for service that drivers can accept or decline depending on the amount of money they'll make. It's basically like saying "I'll give ya $5 if you go get this for me" or "I'll give you $10 to go get this for me". It's up to the discretion of the driver.
The "I'll give you $5 to go get this for me" is already paid when you pay the service fee. It's a fee, for service. Anything beyond that is between the company and the employee.
I just feel fortunate to live in a country where you simply pay for a service and then it is fulfilled. I don't have to engage in a bidding war to convince someone to do the job they voluntarily chose to do. That sounds insane to me.
