Curious, what phone are you using where Uber works and Lyft doesn't?

I actually agree with the OPs statement as it applies to customers (at least when there's a reasonable alternative). I live in NYC so it was pretty easy for me - I deleted the app and switched to using Lyft.

Well, that's complicated but...

I currently use android, and lyft won't work without permanent access to my location and contacts, which I consider unacceptable. I'm supposed to get the ubuntu phone in about a week, and afaik, there's no lyft client for that. There is an uber webpage, m.uber.com or something that should work with it though.

This is all untested on my new phone, so I may be incorrect.

hahaha

Man, I knew there were gonna be some libertarians on this thread.

FWIW, I would strongly not consider myself libertarian |;)
