It's the self-selected group of people who have chosen it. Much different than a random sampling.
Uber drivers have pretty clearly chosen being a contractor, and if you listen to them they say they like the freedom - require it even. You can usually moonlight as a contractor without permission from your primary job.
Other drivers, driving as full-time employees, have obviously made their decision in the other direction and seem happy.
It seems wrong to tell either that they must change.
