This is supply and demand in action. From a strictly capitalist perspective DoorDash should continue to drop wages until people stop working for them. The equilibrium is obviously lower than their current payouts or people wouldn’t continue driving for them.

I don’t think it is possible to make money in the gig economy driving a vehicle. These articles talk about direct car expenses but never talk about indirect. If you factor in vehicle depreciation I am convinced that the net wage for driving is below $0.
