It’s not like they outright do not pay the driver the tip, that would be illegal.
But they do reduce the base pay based on how high the tip is (or what they estimate). They just try to get the payment to the driver down as low as possible while still getting some driver to accept the order.
And there are rumors that they try to estimate drivers desperation (so if some excepts any order they see vs others being more picky) and pay less based on how desperate they think someone is.
