While I agree with you, the counter argument is that they're not forced to take a fare offered - Uber/Lyft are basically posting the option to take a fare and the driver has to choose to accept it. It's similar to if you posted a project on Upwork for a fixed dollar amount - it's up to the workers on there to decide if it's enough or not without negotiating. This is why the whole ABC test of the new proposed law came into being.

What you're missing is drivers are specifically not told the value of a ride before accepting it. You often find out after you've driven 5-15 minutes to a pickup that you're about to spend 10-20 minutes in traffic and of the $9 they're paying you're only getting $3.75. The bad rides are essentially bundled with the good.
