That's because this is always presented in a certain (negative) way in the media so that people have come to believe that all Deliveroo riders or Uber drivers are unhappy.

Of course the reality is a bit different, not least in a country like France that has high structural unemployment (and a very closed taxi industry). The 'gig economy' has no doubt allowed people to get work, and in a rather empowering way.
