I think the issue arises from them doing this on the supply side of the market as well. Discriminating offers to drivers in order to prioritise people willing to drive for less. Or just finding ways to pay people less through algorithmic means.

It's not like people were very happy about their "disruption" of the job market to begin with.

Isn't this just describing a market? If I am trying to buy something (in this case a driver's services), I will first buy the cheapest?

Except that it's not a simple market because Uber/Lyft can charge a rider for a different rate than they pay the driver unless there's regulation prohibiting this.
