Personally I don’t think Uber drivers are as stupid as you think they are. They legitimately want to be able to drive flexibly. Also they keep about 75% of receipts for their driving (average gross margin for Uber is under 25%).

That's good because that way they can pay for their car insurance, health insurance, pension, gas, car maintenance, self employment taxes, frequent car cleaning, &c.
I'm not saying the drivers are stupid, I'm saying Uber &co are very smart.

When you're pulling the "Stockholm syndrome" card you're basically implying the drivers are stupid and unable to recognize they're victims.
Not sure how else to read your previous statement.
