Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Dominos

Rewards points only accrue on orders placed through Domino's own app or website, not orders placed via third party delivery marketplaces, so switching between channels resets the incentive.
Delivery fees, service charges and driver tip prompts still apply on app orders and can add several dollars to the menu price shown.
Order tracking accuracy depends on individual franchise store operations and has been inconsistent in practice at busier locations.
Points expire after a period of account inactivity, so infrequent customers can lose accumulated progress toward a free pizza.
As with comparable chain apps, using it means giving up order history and location data in exchange for the points programme and occasional app-only deals.

Rufus

Windows only, with no macOS or Linux build
Single-purpose: it writes drives and does nothing else
Some of its Windows setup bypass options work around vendor requirements and may not survive future releases

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Dominos: Is the Domino's app free?

Yes, joining and using it costs nothing beyond what is ordered.

Rufus: Is Rufus free?

Yes, open source under the GPL.

Dominos: Why does Domino's push its own app over delivery marketplaces?

Domino's has stated its own channels avoid the 15 to 30 percent commissions third party delivery marketplaces charge, so it keeps more margin per order.

Rufus: Does Rufus run on macOS or Linux?

No, it is Windows only. balenaEtcher is the usual cross-platform equivalent.

Dominos: Do I earn points ordering through Uber Eats or DoorDash instead?

No, Piece of the Pie Rewards only accrues on orders placed directly through Domino's own app or website.

Rufus: Why choose Rufus over the built-in tools?

It is faster than most alternatives and gives explicit control over partition scheme and target system, which matters when a machine will not boot from default media.
