Isn't that good for the driver?

Since Yandex virtually khows from collected data when the driver going to go home, it effectively gives driver extra ride in the wrong direction and then longer ride in the right direction, makes driver literally make extra miles.

Are those trips not paid?

Of course they are paid, what's your point?

The driver is seeing extra revenue from an activity that is inherently limited (how long he will drive back on the direction of home).

As a rule, isn't that beneficial for drivers? Why are you talking like if it is inherently bad? Is there something that doesn't fit my description?

Ride towards home is good for driver. Another ride in the opposite direction, which is set via data analysis and previous driver behavior - inherently evil.
