I'm actually not judging Gigster or Upwork. I have had amazing experiences with Upwork, but that's mostly because I make it work for me. I don't know anything about Gigster so don't hold any thoughts on the company or service as a whole. But yes, this whole "equity" thing is a PR ploy, not many ways to spin it otherwise. The platform may be wonderful, but this specific move falls short of being valuable.
