I think this is getting the causality backwards.

A genuine independent contractor is like a plumber who comes to my house once, does a job, and never comes back. If you're working for the same company month after month for years, you're at least close to the employee/contractor line.
I'm not saying you're wrong... but you're writing as though there's some obvious dimension along which these workers are very different from the rest of the [extremely diverse] "independent contractor" category — so obvious that it needn't even be stated. Maybe I'm slow.

I think the murkiness of the contractor/employee line is problematic in a lot of different industries. Uber just happens to be a high-profile consumer brand people like to talk about.

I agree! But I also think the murkiness cuts across a lot of different axes, and if you're going to propose a new category to clean up the murk, it's important to clarify where some bright(er) lines might be drawn, and what practical tradeoffs are implicit
