Sitting for extended periods of time is bad for one’s health. Also, being in a vehicle is the highest morbidity/mortality risk thing people do. More time on the road = more chance of injury.

Agreed. But it’s not grueling. Programming you also sit for long periods. Programming usually isn’t considered grueling.
You don’t have to sit to program, and there are generally far more degrees of freedom, e.g. bathroom breaks and eating healthy food from a fridge and microwave, etc.
Also, many/most taxi drivers have to regularly work evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays. (Also upping the risk due to sleepy or drunk drivers).
Uber drivers can take a break and pick their own hours whenever they want. They can even nap wherever they want.
Still not grueling imo.
