> Where does this delusion come from that W2 status is a good thing that workers want to have and employers want to withhold? Where are these W2-withholding employers?

The reason being that Colorado was cracking down hard on companies with 1099 workers. As far as labor board is concerned, if you walk like a duck, quack like a duck, you're a duck.
