Some guests do. Also, some people have some history of having food ordered from one city for delivery in another city and using commercial delivery services to get the food delivered for themselves or others. Sometimes that has involved a hotel charge for holding the delivered package with food in it.
Completely different from what we're talking about here. If the food can be delivered and held safely for several hours, they should charge you.
