This answer assumes a state of affairs where everyone living from paycheck to paycheck should be normalized. I think this way of thinking buries a much deeper issue which is that owners of capital continue to squeeze non-owners of capital.
Let’s assume we address that problem and ask the question again.
I would say, that choosing a riskier but higher average source of compensation is a perfectly reasonable, personal choice for someone to make.

No, but if those irregular paychecks are high enough, you may be able to create a reserve to work around it. TI’s how owning businesses work.

Sure but most jobs who would ask such a thing on the application probably aren’t the high paying kind.

I have no idea. I have never seen any job ask this and there is no context given in this post. May not be job application at all.
