Can someone with knowledge in Labour protection explain to me why we shouldn’t let that labor market decide how much these workers are paid?

After all, these technology platforms are making supply and demand more transparent, and theoretically, market pay rate should adjust quickly to reflect those changes.

Do you feel the same way about the federal stimulus bill? That we should simply let "the market" decide whether a given company survives?

That's kind of a false equivalency. The purpose of the government is to step in when the market fails, so of course it is going to do things that support businesses and individuals which would normally have failed. However that is not generally the purpose of businesses, they generally just pay whatever the market decides, so paying people more even when they don't have to would be deviating from this.
