> It doesn't matter much for platforms if gig workers are still legal in say, Wyoming. Why not? While brand recognition is valuable, it makes sense to operate in any jurisdiction in which you operate at a profit. At this point, all of the infrastructure to build the platform in the first place is a sunk cost, though if their total operating volume falls dramatically there maybe some work involved in turning down excess capacity to reduce ongoing costs.
