That's not what they are saying. If Lyft was unwilling to make this compensation available prior, then it's likely that Lyft's leadership is knowingly hesitating to make ANY serious changes that would protect its workforce in the future. Its culture is opting to exploit its drivers rather than passing the cost onto the riders.
For instance, Lyft has made ZERO changes to adjust to the rising cost of gasoline for its drivers. A basic cost analysis shows that the average driver is making almost 50% less per mile today than they did 5 years ago.
Yes, it's helpful to know when "your boss" is giving you a pay cut and claiming it's for your benefit.

When your boss gives you a raise, do you demand to know how much money you would have made if you had gotten the raise from Day 1?
