The matter is very simple, if we abstract ourselves away from any platform or market discussion.
Someone has to be on the hook to pay social deductions, unemployment insurance, etc. If Uber requires all its drivers to be companies, then these companies would be responsible. Since Uber allowed private persons, then they have to cover it.
I think the part where the riders have to pay the deductions is interesting. It would be the case if I hired someone directly, but in this case I interact with Uber who offers the service.
This is the default expectation in Switzerland, direct hire - pay the social deductions, hiring a company - pay only what’s on the bill.
Swiss law protects the employees, if social deductions are not paid it’s the employer’s fault.
