We can't opt out of private school games nor can we opt out of long trips, of course we only cover two counties in Connecticut and my longest trip is 55 miles to a school that may have more John Deere tractors than cars in the school parking lot.
In VA we have some organizations who only service private school games. My point being, you're comparing apples to meatloaf since there are delineations for private/public schools and boys/girls basketball.

That presents another lack of choice. No longer can we officiate where we work, went to school, etc., if we don't live and work, went to school, etc., in the same local territory (two Connecticut counties).

Definitely not independent contractor status; sounds more like a Communist system.

I got your excellent point before you made it the first time. My questions were rhetorical in nature, asked to be thought provoking for the purpose of the topic, and I appreciated the value of your response toward a fuller understanding of the issues in this thread.

"Comparing apples to meatloaf"? I wasn't familiar with that idiom, but it was great.

Communist? No. Socialist? Maybe. We still vote for our local board leaders. Sometimes there's more than one person on the ballot. Connecticut, after all, is a very blue state. It's in our blood.

It's actually more like building hotels on both Boardwalk, and Park Place, and owning the Pennsylvania, B&O, Reading, and Short Line railroads. Everybody else still has a chance, but do they really?

But I can work as many recreation games as I want, anywhere in Connecticut.

Come on Billy. With the exception of one, I feel that every question you asked in your OP was rhetorical. You know that there is no perfect method to all this officiating stuff. You included a lot of "should"s in there and you know the answers. Luvs!
