But it's not an employee, and they're not getting the $100. It's an independent contractor gig worker getting a fraction of that and the rest is going to a vampire.

When you hire a general contractor and they send someone out, that individual at your house doesn't get the $100 either. They are only going to get that if you hire a handyman directly. And yes, if you hire someone directly to pickup your groceries, you can hand them $100 directly as well.
