Why don’t we optimize for both and allow the market to decide where each model is best suited to provide services?

Eg, ridesharing can be done ride-by-ride by people choosing to accept fares from a marketplace but stocking store shelves works better having people there on committed shifts and delivering packages is in between, where people sign up for shifts but are expected to complete the full shift.

Why can’t we fulfill the needs of both people who want reliable, shift-based employment and people who want variable gigs?
