This is exactly the set of issues around the gig economy. Corporations want to treat people as self-employed to save National Insurance, holiday pay, redundancy etc. Some people kind of enjoy moving around jobs a lot. The UK government has had a number of crack-downs on this resulting in a) a reduction in ability to avoid employment laws and exploit workers or b) a restriction on a contractors ability to work flexibly. depending on your point of view. Probably some of each for different people. It is too big an issue for this comments thread.
