When their work and pay are dictated by the platform, they are not independent of it, and are de facto employees.
Making the work they do and their pay something they decide and just obtain via the platform (just facilitated by it) then they’re actually independent of it.

Pay is the same basic story, when one delivery platform isn't paying enough the attentive drivers simply hop to another platform.
