It misses a bigger point: Uber/Lyft drivers don't set their own prices, and can't be considered independent contractors. Nothing stops me from putting up an ad on Craiglist and putting up a price for a gig, and taking more time to complete the gig than I would have gotten for waged labor. It would be absurd to consider me an employee of Craigslist, and rightly so. But if Craiglist forced me to accept a certain price and took their cut, I'm effectively performing waged labor.
