What is the difference between those freelance software engineers and the Uber drivers if they are freelancing for one company only?

Both freelancing and ZZP don't have a legal definition. It's just a business. In these cases a business of one. Without being incorporated, so if you screw up, creditors can come after your personal bank account.

So there's nothing to "tolerate" but money. ;)
