I don't understand it personally. They sort-of remind me of how the US brought cable TV to the UK. There was huge investment on infrastructure and an amazing service. The funding ended, service declined but that infrastructure, which was decades ahead of anything else still existed.

Uber is similar, but anyone can set up a taxi service. Their own taxi drivers can even do it. Existing competitors can take over when the discounts disappear. It just doesn't make sense, it's like a pyramid with no foundation.
