“Why go to a movie theater when you can have your own private home big screen with content streamed to it? Same for food as you say.

In other words,stay home.
No thanks!
Sometimes people just want to go out-——and mix with others.

I agree...dining out at a nice restaurant is nice (far nicer than a crappy movie theater), but you don’t have to completely eliminate dining out to make a big impact on the restaurant industry.
Suppose you cut your dining out by 1/4 and ordered a gourmet meal delivered to your door. Loss of 25% of business would hit restaurants very hard. Even if people switched to 1/10 of their meals delivered, there would be a big oversupply of restaurants. They will be hit like any other retail operation.
20 years ago, who foresaw retail disappearing, people turning their private cars into taxis, and the end of the neighborhood VCR tape rental shops?
