I imagine it would be a matching engine that projects can apply to their own specific needs. Or are the brains of DoorDash and Uber already open source, like how most of the WWW runs on FOSS?

It doesn’t have to be that way. At its core, the idea of an app that can connect people who need a service with people who can provide that service is good; it’s just the over-monetization that makes it awful.
Well agreed in the core concept, but the reality is simply put… the network infrastructure isn’t cheap. Especially factoring in things like the fact that while doordash pays it’s drivers crap… Gouges the hell out of the restraunts deeply cutting into their pockets, It’s still losing money hand over fist itself.
That all goes well until someone uses your platform for scams or CSAM… or when (as the other guy said), infra costs go up. Throw in various privacy regulations, and it can be a frustrating and costly endeavour.
There’s a sweet spot, but I fear it’s quite a small one.
