This is an incorrect interpretation of the law.

The IRS will look at this situation and determine either the owner of the LLC is a de facto employee or not.

Whether they are billing though an LLC or not is not one of the factors.

You are looking at US->US relationship, making the same error as folks elsewhere with NL->NL relationship etc. The question is US->NL relationship etc. You are applying labor laws of one country into an international relationship.
