Beyond what was mentioned above, some further criticism of the survey acknowledged by the lead researcher himself [1]:

1) low sample size (219 responses)

2) usage of $10 gift cards as incentives. as an online survey, this opened up opportunities for gaming

3) targeting appears to have been geared towards members of Gig Workers Rising, a union-backed group

I think Uber's study of all of its drivers [2] in California provides a more measured picture:

74% of drivers work < 25h/week, but only account for 42% of trips

So, no, the majority of rideshare drivers aren't full-time, but rideshare companies do rely heavily on drivers who are online >25hours/week.
