I can imagine Uber using different employment schemes in different countries, complying with local law. Maybe a gig based system is actually benefecial to society in some countries, like you claim, while it's not in others.

Any voluntary employment shows it’s better than the alternatives for those who do it doesn’t it?

Assuming full information symmetry. Predatory voluntary employment like pyramid schemes exist where workers are coerced through misleading rather than force

Which is more relevant in an employment scenario, with higher friction and barriers of entry. In gig economy, worse case scenario is you stop doing it.
