I can cook moderately well (it's a skill like any other and comes with practice) but I absolutely loathe doing it (with one exception: I like to cook for partners and family).
The daily hassle of sourcing ingredients, cooking them, cleaning up the mess from cooking etc is an absolute chore.
95% of the time I'd be happy to be able to order a nutrious well made meal and have it delivered, here in the UK where I am your options for delivery are largely "pizza/kebabs" and "chinese/indian" and neither is particulary healthy (the salt and fat levels in a lot of the chinese takeaway dishes are insane, like 80% your RDA).
Having said that, I agree that sourcing ingredients, cleaning up, and all the other upkeep costs turns into a big hassle. Some time ago I voiced the concern on HN and from the answers I learned that generally, like every other task, you can learn to optimize away lots of that startup/teardown costs - but it requires planning and adjusting you daily routine.
Not something I have time to do now, though - changing routines takes a lot of time and effort too.
