Most ants can't wrap their heads around the fact that they are AGREEING to the terms they hate so much. You, as an IC are free to take all/some/none of the ride REQUESTS that uber offers you.
So why would a tech company, that makes money by SELLING ITS SERVICES TO DRIVERS want to keep drivers that would simply decline the request? No one would want an unreliable sub-contractor on there list.
The fact that they are deactivating you (NOT FIRING YOU) because you do not want to work for them makes you an employee how??
If you don't like the terms of each ride Ubers platform offers you, then don't use the app. You can't cry about not being an employee when you never do anything that makes you look like an employee, ever.
This will not go to the courts because Ubers position is very solid and they have precedent on their side. If the wacky CA legislature changes the rules, it doesn't back date everyone to employee status for the last X years, and Uber will have plenty of time to make whatever changes it needs to keep you an IC.
