I feel this is a little too cynical. For example, maybe I want to make extra money but don't want to be tied to a shift. This type of flexibility is amazing for lots of people. It's very appealing if you need extra money, and have a lot of time. Unfortunately, this aligned in an economic cycle where people needed work, and undervalued their value as workers(and for sometime bonuses, and gamification made this type of work very profitable i.e. 4k a week driving uber in SF).
