You are of course right, and we don't want abuse at either scale. I think GP is also relying on mom and pop shops not having enough economic power to abuse workers at that level.
A local business usually can't afford burning through workers like cigarettes, it would go out of business at the 3rd contractor (and hopefully these 3 people can take legal action without a barrage of lawyers sucking their life savings).
Amazon can afford to burn through thousands without seeing any clear impact on its bottomline. That's where rules should be stricter IMO.
