It's voluntary. There are jobs with less flexibility and lower pay. There are competitors in the market if you really have your heart set on a career in ridesharing.

None of that sounds exploitive.

Indentured servitude is voluntary and is exploitative. Whether it is voluntary is not indicative of whether it is exploitative. You have to look at the bigger picture.
