I'd be willing to bet that a vast, vast majority of legislators and regulators making anti-independent contractor policy have never worked as anything but a W-2 employee.
As a result, they can't comprehend "mutually beneficial business relationships"—everything looks like some form of exploitation or oppression, when it's the opposite.
That is my experience talking not only with legislators and regulators, but also with their aides. Generally not entrepreneurial people. We're like a foreign species to a lot of them.
That's for sure. (And, conversely, most independent contractors have experience as a W-2 at some point. So we understand their language and customs even though they have no clue about ours 🤣)
