You are not forcing them if it's mentioned in the gig description before the offer is taken: I need someone to mow my lawn, with this lawn mower, at this time. Those are the details of the gig offer, take it or leave it, and complete it in anyway that meets the requirements of the gig. No different then I need someone to walk my dog, with this leash collar, at this time, and use this biodegradable bag. Or should the dog walker bring his own leash...

Except where mandated by state law, gig workers do not receive the gig description until after it is accepted. There is no transparency about details such as price or duration when they must make the decision to take it or leave it. Failure to accept a gig will result in penalization that significantly reduces your ability to receive more offers in the future.
