This is the key. When the drivers lack the ability to freely decline rides every time every time without consequences, they are not contractors anymore.
By the way, the take-it-or-leave-it offer with dictated pricing is a really inefficient way to reach a market price. The driver logs off because they can't decline too many times, then there are less drivers, so the rideshare app has to raise prices, but then the drivers nearby are no longer online.
