> Merely owning a vehicle is an odd definition of skilled labor.
Having witnessed countless uber/lyft drivers do their thing I have to agree with your "skilled" assessment.
More on point -- my main objection is they are paying basically at cost pricing to the "driver-partners" when you add up all the costs. Basically, though many will disagree, all they're doing is taking the equity out of their vehicle now instead of at resale time.
