That's a key part of it, yes. The fact that basic pillars of life are tied to full-time employment means that people who aren't full-time employees aren't fully-benefitting members of society. And because these things cost the business money, it's incentivized to push as many people out of the benefitting category as possible

It is basically impossible to set up a tax advantaged retirement plan if you have a successful family business. It is obscene that if I work for a huge company I can dump 25k per year free tax in a 401k, but if just work for myself I am s** out of luck We really need to sever all the ties between employment and benefits. Get paid for your work and buy the benefits you want.
