I think the ones that don't do the math are the ones that think the gig workers don't take into account the risk.
Why is unemployed casual employee better than employeed contractor for you? Because its definitely not for the gigers: if it were, only 1 of the gig companies has to offer the contract, take that into account into the pay they give the employees (or substitutes like insurance) and then they would get all the workers.
There are definite market failures, but the vast majority of denouncing of market failures are people not understanding the market has made a good decision.
