How greedy do you have to be to get this mad over a few dollars more per hour? Just pay the people
It's so culturally ingrained in the US. I used to look at the delivery driver subreddits sometimes. So many complaints from the US posters about individual customers not tipping, but almost no complaints about companies not paying people properly. Compare with other countries subreddits where those services operate, and the criticism is almost entirely of the company policies.
Red Scare propaganda was and continues to be hugely effective in the US.
I mean even though they generate a shit ton in revenue none of those companies are profitable. They will do everything they can to not increase driver costs.
