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?

    If you mean something like self hosted, it would be really easy, but no one would use it. Imagine you order a burrito and the guy just eats your burrito, and you can’t do anything about it. Or imagine you’re a driver and you deliver the food, then don’t get paid. You need a business in between to take the liability for anyone to trust it. It being open source wouldn’t really matter, because you need massive capital and infrastructure to make it work.
