Didn't Instacart get in trouble for a similar thing? I believe they said drivers would get 100% of their tips which was technically "true", however they were using the tips as part of their minimum pay and if the tips weren't enough to hit that guaranteed rate they would top it up to that rate. It's overall a super sketchy practice. When someone sees an offer for "Work this block of time for 15/hr" they assume 15/hr + tips on top, not that they will pay you for an order + tips, and if that meets the $15 they give you nothing extra. It's a slimey practice and it looks like this is two big companies getting in trouble for it.
This gig work stuff really needs to be more regulated because clearly these big corporations treat their employees like slaves and exploit them and do not self regulate at all.
