Deliveroo riders have some of the worst working conditions, it's a grind and people do it because they need the cash. Going as far as circumvent legal regulations and even pay to be able to do such a job is a good indicator that the person doing it is desperate for income. Many people believe wealth should be shared, that everyone deserve happiness, and that no one should spend their lives slaving away just to survive, those same people would not try to profit off of someone desperate for income and willing to work hard and would consider what OP is talking about immoral. |

It proposes a false dichotomy where the worker has to either be in well paying and fulfilling employment (which obviously is not an option given their circumstances) or alternatively, they must be saved from the tyranny of their employer (usually through enactment of regulations which will leave them jobless).
Either way all it achieves is to deprive the worker of income, experience and the agency that comes with being able to make their own employment decisions. Your comment, despite seeming conscientious, gives little consideration to utility of the worker and the pragmatic decisions they face.
A sense of moral outrage towards a company (or individual) for perceived exploitation of their employees might be justified, but is not sufficient grounds for limiting the freedom of exchange.
