Of course. This is gate-keeping with a sprinkle of regulatory capture. My favorite quote: >Many of our critics, ..., believe that Uber and our gig economy peers have failed drivers by treating them as contractors, and that we will do anything to avoid the cost of employee benefits like health insurance.

And did those policies get you the market-share you have now?
