Evidently, there are enough advantages for people to voluntarily take on those jobs.

And 'normal employment' means 'unemployment' for a lot of people in France these years.

France should encourage more companies to enter and contest the market that Uber is in.

See https://www.idiosyncraticwhisk.com/2019/05/uber-and-wages-in... for how when Uber and eg Lyft are both operating in the same market, the result is almost a textbook case of perfect competition.
