As a driver, the pay is well over (+30%) minimum wage after all expenses including depreciation.

Don't know where this 'crap pay' trope is coming from, might be different in different markets.

30% over minimum wage. Wow, sign me up! That would be $18 an hour in San Francisco, so working a 40 hour week, that would be about $2900 pre tax. Let's shave off 25% for taxes, that's $2160 per month, not enough to make rent (and that's assuming you allocate 100% of your income to rent). Explain again how this is not crap pay.

It's good pay for an easy job that requires no skills and offers perfect flexibility. The alternatives are a lot shittier.
