I drove for DoorDash and I absolutely prefer the guaranteed amount with them keeping the tips.

First of all, people tip beforehand so it's not based on quality of service anyway.

Second of all, it makes DoorDash a steady stream of income instead of hoping that you'll be tipped enough. Most people don't tip and if the tip is large enough, you do receive the tip.

I think this wasn't really a bad deal for the drivers, but it was essentially a lie to the consumers: they think tipping will make a difference for the driver, but instead it only makes a difference to DoorDash. What's really needed is a minimum wage that applies to everyone, regardless of employee status.
