As with the zero hour contracts it is mainly about exploiting poverty through low wages.
Uber would not prosper as they do if there were better job opportunities for people, they can cynically exploit because of the lack of alternatives, or unemployment. To be fair, it is not just Uber - other companies - often online traders - exploit, for example, delivery people by paying them a pittance for their work that often works out less than minimum wage.
