Yes, you are stating the obvious assumptions that altruism is absent and there is an adversarial relationship between capital and labor with frequently diametric objectives. If companies are constantly complaining about "nobody wants to work" then they could move further up the labor supply curve by offering better wages-- but would it actually improve employer profits (via higher revenue) if they give up margin? If a McDonalds could serve 300 customers instead of 200 over a lunch rush, wouldn't it be beneficial to the employer? From the employee side, they would get paid more, could pick up shifts at varying businesses based on their schedules. Then maybe at scale, such a platform would be incredibly useful for organizing labor. This obviously would terrify employers. I'm not really debating, more of just sharing random ideas and complaining online, because this is basic game theory as to why employers wouldn't want such a tool (potentially higher labor costs short/long term, increased labor mobility, unionization risk, other issues like training/liability/insurance/taxes/etc.), but employees/labor could be greatly served by such a platform.
