Tech bros big mad when they can’t continue to exploit a workforce and have to play by the rules. “How can we disrupt if we can’t cheat and steal from our workers and customers?”
Those shit acre silicon carpetbaggers can get infini-fucked.

How does this change flexibility? If you’re online to drive, you get paid. If you don’t, you won’t get paid.
Am I missing something?

It they are scheduled then they’re employees, no?
As I recall, the basic differences between employee and contractor are whether the employer can dictate time, place, and manner. The problem for gig “contractors” is that they’re in a much tougher spot on exercising their rights, since not many people who can afford a lawyer deliver food. And they aren’t exactly in short supply, so if Uber oversteps and individual “contractors” try to push back, they’ll just be fired. Which gets back to the lawyer issue.
Uber, etc are very much a large enough targets for a class action lawsuit to force a behavior change.
(As an aside, I just got $137 back from the Yahoo class action suit, most I’ve ever seen from one)

Good fuckin’ luck trying to convince a judge or jury that a city isn’t allowed to set a minimum wage.
