Lyft and services like it seem to be intrinsically tied to urban centers, which also overwhelmingly lean liberal.

Overwhelmingly liberal is not 99%. It's more like 66-80%. For example,in very liberal San Jose, Trump got 20% of the vote. It's still a large percentage of the potential customers.

Lyft's biggest markets are places where Trump got less than 20 percent of the vote

Every Trump supporter I know is embarrassed by the travel ban. So this doesn't quite effect "half of the country".

I'm going to guess that your anecdata set size is relatively small.

Well, if other ride-share companies follow suit, Trump supporters will soon have no other choices through which to make a political statement.
