>> Decentralized has no immediate direct benefit for riders.

Yes, but decentralized could have a very direct benefit for drivers... considering that sans an army of driverless cars, driver supply is what makes Uber's "sharing economy" work.

(Not to mention that the insurance/license guarantees are not currently being satisfied.)

Drivers will go to where the users are, and I don't think decentralized blockchains are an implementation detail most users care about.

The lack of insurance/license guarantees hasn't prevented users from flocking to Uber.
