It is not just that. The biggest test for contractor vs employees is IRS classification. If a person earns majority of their income from one entity, then they are classified as employee. There is no official percentage cutoff like 51% or even 95%, IRS supposed to look at the whole situation.

Majority of tech contractors are actually employees of contracting company, so that is one way to get around it. At one point, I was freelancing, and I had only one client. My/their accountant had me open an LLC for this reason.

Now there are a lot of gig workers who are on all of the platforms and probably earn equal amount of money from each platform. But there are plenty who are only on one platform, so they will need to be classified as employees.
