The articles I'm reading from that Google search refer to drivers who are FTEs or have set contracts (eg 10-hour shifts with quotas).
By contrast, this article is talking about the just-in-time, on-the-fly gig-work market, like lyft and uber's labor markets. This is pretty clear from the fact that it's not really possible for an employer to overwork a gig worker without the gig worker's enthusiastic consent, since they explicitly choose each marginal contract they do (in fact, the theme of gig worker complaints in this area is usually against the restrictions placed on consecutive hours worked).
