Maybe this is a regional thing, but I don’t agree with that example, I think take-out means you leave the house to get it. If they bring it to you, it’s delivery.
I also wouldn’t say I “called” for take-out unless I made a phone call. Otherwise, I would say I ordered it.
If you call for takeout, how can you be at home, silently? You’re not “calling” anything, nor taking anything out, as you’re squarely staying in.
Being that prescriptive would end up like an irl version of the Big Bang theory, just much much worse. (And the original is already… eh.)
