I rarely use ridesharing apps but I always ask about this kind of thing and I have the same takeaway as you.
The drivers seem to like the situation they are in.
I could really care less about the "technically..." type of arguments. The drivers don't think they are being exploited, they like the job and the freedom it gives them. Any law that puts an end to that is _bad_ for those people.
Just because these laws were put in place to help people doesn't mean they always help people. The people who are supposedly being helped by the law here think it's hurting them. The law is supposed to serve the people, not the other way around. The law needs to change to allow these people to continue the situation they enjoy.
It drives me crazy to read people arguing about the technicalities of the law and ignoring what the supposedly exploited people are saying.
Do you also explain some of the downsides of being an employee? I don’t know if they are dying for the rigid hours, bureaucracy, same environment etc. it’s not all upside being an employee
