We've had scam industries like this for ages... If you're old enough there's Time shares, Amway, numerous companies that have sold fake health supplements etc... It hasn't resolves anything beyond money and work being extracted from people with no reward. Valid business, like taxi cabs, are destroyed by Uber and door dash, and the people that work for these services get ripped off. Many of these businesses are purely exploitative.

Even Dominos is using 3rd party delivery services now, instead of hiring drivers, it has made their prices skyrocket on top of already ridiculous inflation. It even prices people out of being able to afford pretty much D-class pizza. Even if the model melts down, the original (more valuable) business model may be so decimated that it won't be able to be brought back.

Our world is suffering from trust funders with bad and amateur business ideas, all trying to become market-cornering monopolies, it's long overdue to encourage them to find better and less destructive idea builders and better ideas by others to fund instead of launching poorly though out and highly exploitative profit schemes.
