Part of that is, out side of a few regions of the Midwest that have a really unique accent.
Most of the Midwest is “nutural English”. Yes there’s an accent, but there is a huge lack of slang, regional quirks, and is widely one of the most understandable accents across every English speaking country.
It’s the “universal English accent” in a sense. It’s a large reason why call centers became so popular there. That and low costs.
Functionally Midwestern accent is in a way the English that’s so boring that the banality of it IS the accent. Lol it’s kinda funny.

That’s not the same as takeaway at all. Like at all at all.
GrubHub and takeaway were two entirely separate companies that merged.
The names were already in use at the same time and had nothing to do with each other before that.
They aren’t regional variants.
