I don’t see how this is a bad thing? Albertson’s, a national grocery chain, goes all in with a single vendor (instacart) of an ancillary service (delivery) for efficiency.

It's a "bad thing" because there are benefits to being employed with a company that treats you like an employee, which you are not going to get when you're fired and told to go work for Instacart as a contractor if you want to keep getting paid. This is a bad thing for the employee who no longer has their job.
