>It's almost like the people creating these companies don't think they have any sort of legal, social, or ethical obligation to respect and perhaps improve workers' rights and conditions

How can a private company accomplish this? Haven't consumers proven that they choose to purchase from a competitor that offers the same services/products at a lower price due to not offering the same benefits or conditions at work? If Uber took on this responsibility, then why wouldn't people just switch to using Lyft?

The only way it makes sense to me is if the government mandates certain work conditions/benefits/quality of life to everyone.
