I wonder why Deliveroo drivers have RoS.

Shocked, shocked I tell you.

Obvious abuse if anyone thought about it.

One assumes they tax the verified NI number at high rate.

Very likely as it means they aren't employees.

It also explains why in summer the delivery people look younger.

I think this is about employment status more generally, not IR35 or any reforms related to that (the status tests themselves are mostly the same tests in all contexts, although the agency legislation uses the slightly special snowflake of SD&C). They will all be operating as sole traders, no intermediary involved.

So someone needs to find out who owned the original account then prosecute that person for breaching h&s legislation or even corporate manslaughter.

Do that a few times successfully then this will be less likely to happen.
