Uber could pull out from NL, and not be missed, as the country is not super car dependent to start with. Taxi's (or uber like services) are rarely used here. People mostly walk, bike or take public transport. As for the implosion of the gig economy, I doubt it too. We've had a neo-liberal gov for the last 12 years, and they've pushed the gig economy (successfully) within the boundaries of north western EU social democracy (Dutch: ZZP). What we are witnessing here is the courts pushing back on companies abusing the system. They can't have it both ways; wanting flexible workers with those kinds of wages, with demanding 'contracts' akin to employee contracts.
