That seems like an illogical reasoning regarding Uber. Remember that uber only gets a small slice of whatever the "islanders" are getting. There wouldn't be any reason to deliberately make it harder for the people working unless the market itself has dictated such changes.

Yes, but they're also taking almost risk, so it's still exploitative. The island example was simply meant to show that transactions where both sides benefit aren't necessarily fair, and can still be considered exploitation -- not as a direct comparison to Uber.
