I don't know if you don't understand the point being made or you're just being intellectually dishonest, but software jobs with benefits are almost wholly not "show up when you want and work however much you want", as in the case under discussion. The claim is that requiring an entity to provide health benefits (given that we're too dysfunctional as a country to make it the govts responsibility) is justifiable when you're signing over the bulk of your time to them, in a way that perhaps isn't true when you have the relationship that Uber drivers have to Uber: working any imaginable combination and quantity of hours and doing exactly as little work as you'd like. I'm not saying I'm convinced by the argument, and I'm not saying any of the above is correct. But it is the point being made, and low-effort snarky garbage like your comment just generates more heat than light and doesn't move anyone closer to understanding the situation.
