They don't have to - if the penalty is a fine, then it's just the cost of business. Everyone is fine with the system - as long as the profits gained from breaking the rule are bigger than the fine, behavior won't change.
Is that the methodology used here? I'd have guessed the Overall was an aggregate of the subcategories, not it's own question. I wonder if the overall would be lower if it was asked last, after considering all the other areas.
You can’t go lower than minimum wage. Those making minimum wage would benefit the most.

Lyft and Uber said they will cease operations in Minneapolis after the city’s council voted Thursday to override a mayoral veto and require that ride-hailing services increase driver wages to the equivalent of the local minimum wage of $15.57 an hour....
relying on private for-profit companies to provide basic transportation services in a city is stupid

Maybe your view is too narrow if it’s fueled by personal anecdotes. Technology not hurting you is just a data point, not a conclusion. Typically when we say positive, we really mean “net positive” and that’s unknown. And the argument is not that we shouldn’t use tools to make our lives better. It’s OK to recognize that tools can be harmful and seek to reduce that harm.
