Here's the problem. Rather than actually solving the underlying problems of lack of good jobs, training, and support networks for these people you're just giving them a slightly less-shitty "job", rationalizing away all the bad parts by saying it's "flexible" now, checking the box for employment, and calling it good until automated delivery completely destroys these jobs in a few years.
I would personally argue that this is worse in many ways than if we could point to high unemployment and people marching in the streets as reasons we need to change the status quo in more meaningful ways.
