Can someone explain how the pimp angle works for strippers?

Part of me thinks when guys say this they are just somehow sour grapes as the girl is out of their reach, so if they see her or other girls with her being picked up or dropped off to the club by a guy instead of thinking it's a driver for security, the go-to is that it's a pimp. I'm referring to the hot barely-tattoo ones who look fresh as college girls, not the ones who look like they'v seen meth or heroin one time too many.

How would this even work? These girls can make plenty of money on their own to pay for rent and life in general and don't look like they've got any health risking life issues. No marks of having had any kids. Daddy issues for sure (why else would they be stripping) but daddy issues alone don't lead to some kind of pimp dependence.

How does the pimp reel them in and how does he keep them? "Bitch you better give me my money or... you might just decide to go it on your own?" "Bitch, I'm you're ride and there's no such thing as Uber or Lyft or good ole fashion taxis." "Bitch ignore all these PLs, I'm the only one who loves you and gets you all these clients never mind actually the club does that but bitch never mind that look here or ima gonna teach you what life is like without me."

Street whores I can understand. They're trapped. Hooked on something. No means to protect themselves without a guy around the corner to back her up. But a stripper and a club with a regular clientele pouring through the door?
