This doesn't seem like the stakes are the same as Airbnb or Uber, when people claimed they were "changing the world" by ignoring regulations.
This is not a morality issue, or a matter of clever legal interpretation. Outside of the US the courts have spoken. In all these cases Uber and Airbnb either broke those laws, or their business model required knowingly enabling people to break these laws.
The fact that this is still up for debate in 2022 is indicative of the problems within modern democracy.
Taxis were licensed and regulated, but that gave you a benefit of using taxi stops, taxi lanes and grabbing people off the streets. Also, customers - in theory - could expect quality.
It also created issues which required and still require lawmaker to adjust.
