I don't understand how driver is winning, that would be my absolute last choice there and I'd probably still not even want their services unless I went out drinking or something.

A lot of people spend quite a bit more time driving in a given week than they spend cooking, cleaning, or taking care of any other routine tasks, and most of that driving is more a matter of having to wade through unpleasant traffic to commute or accomplish some other mundane task than it is anything really enjoyable. It loses a lot of value in that you still have to spend the same amount of time as a passenger as you would driving yourself and being a passenger isn't the same as having actual free time, but for people that really dislike commuting, I can see the appeal. Bonus points if you would normally have to pay for parking, since you'd save that cost.

Gardener strikes me as the real absolute last choice there. Unless you're maintaining a large enough property that you can already afford these things for yourself, having enough of a garden to justify employing somebody to take care of it is almost always going to be a matter of cultivating it as a hobby/leisure activity, in which case you'll want to do it yourself. For the basic "I want my property to look nice," you hire a landscaper once, then occasionally water it and get them in again each spring to replant annuals. There's very little benefit to be had from a full-time employee.
