The argument that a law "would help workers more than help them" is a political argument not a legal argument. The legislature has the right to pass dumb laws so long as those laws are within their constitutional powers and do not infringe or abridge any constitutional rights. Judges have no business legislating on political questions.
I take no position on whether or not the law is actually dumb but the delivery apps need to find a better legal argument if they want to argue this law is unconstitutional. This argument that "the law is unconstitutional because it is dumb" is basically just asking judges to legislate from the bench which is exactly what everybody who pays attention to Supreme Court confirmation hearings knows judges aren't supposed to do.
