Lyft doesn't exist in France.

But 4 other competitors do. Let's not get stuck with semantics.

Part of the justification of the high court is that Uber disables accounts of drivers who refuses courses.
Uber also hides the destination.
There's not much room for a choice.

Choosing between two service providers is not the same as making offers and setting terms yourself.

I do not know france, but for example in India smart drivers who do that all time, use uber as lead gen tool for regular recurring customers like office going employees, senior citizens with regular hospital visits and build relationships offline and network just like any good freelancer.

But it's different than literally every other employment opportunity right? No one flips burgers at McDonalds and runs across the street to make a taco at Taco Bell and then runs back to do more burgers at McDonalds all in the same hour/shift.
I'm not sure what the situation is like in France, but most Uber drivers I've seen have the Lyft app open at the same time. It seems pretty trivial to download another app and use both at the same time (easier than almost any other freelancer finding more sources for work).
