How can we be surprised by this? Isn't this, from the companies' view, exactly what gig work is _for_. If you're offering a food delivery service, and you thought that end users + restaurants were willing to pay more than minimum wage for delivery services, you'd hire an army of minimum-wage workers and pocket the difference. If it's likely that people are willing to pay less than minimum wage for delivery services, then you've gotta design a way to pay people less than that by inventing something other than normal "employment".
