Uber paying drivers does not make the drivers employees. When I have worked as a software developer as a 1099 contractor and someone bought the resulting software, does that mean that the customer who bought the software was paying me? Would the payment for the software be counted as revenue for the company?

When I was a part time fitness instructor, I taught at corporate gyms where the employees had free memberships. I got a 1099 every year from the gym. Did the employees pay me? Would that be an expense of the corporation?

Currently the prevailing legal arguments against Uber attempt to categorize drivers as employees, not contractors.
