That gives me the willies, personally. Given that contractors have no employee protections (such as they are) it’s even more troubling. I started contracting because I saw it as a way to get some security. With a job I was effectively a business with a single Customer. Losing that relationship meant losing all my income (and health insurance). One fickle manager or business downturn and I might be in a world of trouble. Having multiple Customers meant that I could screw up, survive a bad manager, lose a Customer’s downturn, etc, and not be scrambling.
