    Them being contractors is legal bullshit.

    What makes it “legal bullshit”? They are legally independent contractors, and that’s not something that we’re just taking their word for. There are legal tests to determine whether or not someone is an employee or an independent contractor, and there have been lawsuits about this topic as well.

    Many of the apps forbid you from running other apps at the same time

    Many? I’ve not heard of this, can you name them? As far as I understand it’s quite common for drivers to multi-app.

    they assign orders to you, it’s not an open list

    Orders are offered to drivers who then choose whether or not to accept them.

    They’re de facto employees that the companies lie about to not pay taxes and benefits

    That’s your opinion. As of right now it’s not backed up by anything substantial, and it’s not looking likely to change. You don’t need to accuse companies of serious fraud just because you don’t like them.
