Drivers did get shafted. Imagine if tomorrow somebody comes with some model which flushes 10x the current number of programmers into the market.

Your wages will dilute to a point it will be hard for you to make a decent living.

Medallion owners charged huge amounts of rent from drivers. The barrier to entry wasn't on the driver side.
