I strongly suspect that, to a driver, it makes a huge difference that you can't rely on the app to accurately tell you what your take will be, even if you can validate that after 1000 rides, it's all a wash. And even if you don't care about drivers, that introduces a marketplace inefficiency if they don't expect $1 promised compensation to result in $1 actual compensation.

Exactly. Besides making the marketplace inefficient, underpaying participants in the marketplace and leaving them disappointed also creates churn. You want, as much possible, for marketplace participants in the system to experience a strong link between effort and reward.
