You're interpreting it too literally. "Passion" in this case simply means "actually gives a fuck and tries to do a good job" as opposed to "doing the bare minimum."
So yeah, you don't have to have passion for your job, or even like it, but if you're not going to try to do it well, just quit and let someone else take over.

I don't disagree, but I'm in the privileged position of being an in-demand tech professional who could have another job the same day I quit my current one.
The inherent problem with the "sharing economy" is that its built on using people (primary) who are economically disadvantaged who need the job (I concede that someone people who drive for Uber don't require the job, but do it do to the flexible schedule or extra income it provides). Its hard to always do a shitty job well, constantly.
I don't think so. Remember, this is the same crowd who constantly is bombarded with recruiter spam seeking people who are "passionate" about development.
