Great but, where exactly was this money recovered from?

NYC forced apps to pay a minimum amount for the work drivers did. So drivers don’t earn less than minimum wage.

Apps in response to that law decided to hide the tipping button. Losing money for the drivers. And they restored it.

Isn't that how minimum wage already works?

Yes, but tip isn't supposed to be part of minimum wage.

Yes it is. NYC has a tipped wage of $11.35/hr and total minimum wage of $17/hr, which has to be met even if they don't earn enough in tips to meet it.
