It has nothing to do with being "progressive", but rather about reducing costs and moving in the direction of eliminating people (who sit in front of computer screens all day performing what have become almost menial tasks, which more and more people have attained the skills to do) as actual employees.
"Tech talent", with their demands for flexibility, have unknowingly been playing right into a situation that the collective c-level desires. They've naively been "demanding" to become independent contractors.
