If you allow the company to "send people home" when there is no work then that is the same thing as allowing them to be waiting for work without getting paid. Because uber is not requiring them to be anywhere or do anything while waiting.

being on call and not working are not the same thing. if my boss tells me i need to be on call for our datacenter from 8pm-4am all week, i expect to get paid during that time regardless of if there's a critical incident or not. it means i have to be tied to my phone, cannot make plans with friends or family, and cannot stray too far from my home in case i need to dial in. same deal here.

Nothing you just said applies to delivery drivers. They are going to be paid while being "around to work" but not "on call". Or even more specifically this law is saying the ones actually driving need to be paid based on the number of people who are "around to work" regardless of whether they actually drive.
