Regardless of whether this decision is correct or not, Uber's financial situation is of their own making and shouldn't factor in to the ruling.

Fair enough, the court's job is just to interpret the law; it's the law I object to. But a lot of people advocating for these types of laws make the moral argument that companies are exploiting workers. Given the evidence, I think that's a pretty difficult case to make in good faith.
It seems like a very easy case to make. Regardless of whether the abstract corporate entity is losing money, Uber's founders, employees, and early investors have all done very well for themselves.
How does it follow that someone was exploited for that to have happened?
