I have seen a similar thing by Upwork happen. The problem also is that by accepting the first freelance job you agreed to a two year exclusivity contract on the platform, so not accepting their new terms of payroll means you cannot work with them anymore.
You might be able to work around it though by creating a new incorporation of changing juristiction, but that's a bit complicated. It's also not clear if Upwork's contract is legal or enforceable.

After a few jobs some clients will try to circumnavigate the platform.

After spending some time in the platform you can see lots of strange patterns repeating here and there.
