So what's the difference between that and using a personal LLC. It's legal nitpicking about a persons choice.

That's actually what the law is: interpretation of statute, or what you call "nitpicking".

So to be clear, allowing 1,000,000 individuals with personal LLC's to sign up as Uber contractors via their LLC's is totally cool.

Having 1,000,000 individual sign up DIRECTLY as Uber contractors...totally illegal.
