Thanks for the clarity on the history of the acquisitions.
The more interesting question is clarification on how Bitcoin payment makes disintermediation more feasible than fiat payments? PayPal is pretty ubiquitous in non-sanctioned countries.
Doesn't this imply it would be trivial for a Bitcoin based gig site to get disintermediated as well? How does the Bitcoin based gig site survive under such circumstances?

My guess is that they don't, at least not in current form.
If I had to take a stab at a prediction, I'ld say that at some point there will be success in bitcoin-based taskwork / gigwork. If it does occur, it will probably come in the form of tasks identified by AI that need to be performed by a human, and some high volume of taskwork / gigwork hiring then is performed where payment is in bitcoin.

Didn't have much luck on Upwork either, to be honest.

I did...as an employer, not as a worker. Although, I can imagine that it is quite difficult to cut through the noise. Job offers get very large numbers of bids, many of them insanely cheap. Like most things, you get what you pay for, and it takes an experienced nose to sniff the quality offers.
