That sounds like how Ireland used to work, before 2000 when things were deregulated.

We've gone from a shortage of taxis, to an overabundance. When Uber launched, it wasn't interesting as our taxi system (which Uber appears to comply with the laws of) already works.

Same here in Lithuania - there were already two major apps providing the same service when Uber launched, the only difference is Uber is more expensive - I assume the cars are nicer, but most taxis here are pretty well maintained, so it's not really a selling point.
