Yeah, it sounds like a kind of capitalist min-maxing, but the risk being on the drivers / employees. Same thing happened with Uber, where you drive your own car and pay your own maintenance / damages. Same thing happens everywhere, even local mail delivery where I live - which used to be a respectable, uniformed, full-time job - has turned into more of a gig economy, having become a part-time job where you're expected to use your own bike or van to do the deliveries.

Imagine needing to invest tens of thousands in a van just to have a chance of an underpaid and unthankful package delivery job.
