I feel it is up to each business to adopt a practice of ethical running of their business and doing right by both their staff and customers. One doesn’t need to follow the sheep. Precedents can always be set and the rest filters on through.

If meal prices have to be raised, then ensure quality of prep and service. This should be an expectation. As long as the customer isn’t feeling pressured to tip, and this can also not be encouraged but graciously honoured if given, then out of satisfaction, some may tip regardless. I don’t live in the US. The restaurants I worked at in the kitchen, it was practice for the wait staff to handover all tips and then once counted, evenly distributed amongst themselves at end of shift.

Some restaurants here handover the tips as well. What you say about the food businesses is true. Unfortunately that doesn't mean it can or will happen. It's not just the food biz that goes on tips. You're kind of talking about a culture. That's something hard to change, especially when it comes to money

I am largely referring to the food industry, the rest is a slightly different dynamic. The culture of dining is something that affects everybody.

One need only take care of their own personal universe. To not want to make a change, or implement something because others aren’t doing it can be a cop out. No-one would attempt anything otherwise if always wondering about what the Joneses are up too. It starts at ones own doorstep.
