It's not completely meaningless, I interpret "Uber for x" to mean a technology company that is the middleman in furtherance of skirting laws/regulations.

Do you know how many Uber drivers have been charged criminally?

Just think of controversial or antiquated laws and build Uber on top to facilitate the transaction. Uber of drug dealing...Uber of prostitution...unlike Uber of banking I bet you know exactly what those mean.
