Lets say I agreed with you. In what way is that worse than the non-gigging market? If I take a job at a Gap, I am an easily replaceable cog with no market power, I'm dependent on that job and have to do what I'm told, but I can't set my own hours. Regular shifts are virtually non-existent in most low income jobs today. Gigging as it currently exists improves on that.

"Regular shifts are virtually non-existent in most low income jobs today. "

This is a really bad trend that gigging will even accelerate.
