Why does "employee" equate to "show up at 10AM" ? Why cant they work the same hours and style they do now, but with the title of "employee"?

That's an honest question, I know employment laws are complex and likely didnt include these concepts, but I'm also interested in facts over speculation.

You are correct. They could. This comes down to offering a minimum income to people who work for Uber and Lyft and giving them benefits that they would otherwise never qualify for like paid health insurance.
