That's not how I read it.

You're right, frgtpsswrdlame totally skipped over that Uber currently seems like a rampant shit-show from the outside - I can't imagine any women applying to work there - but he did address two concrete issues Uber has that aren't just "brand damage": focusing too much on self-driving tech, and their flagrant disregard for local laws.

But he's not suggesting that they change their ethics and stop abusing local laws. Rather, he's suggesting engaging in unethical anticompetitive practices that abuse regulation to create barriers to entry. That's just a change of tactic, not a change of mindset.
Is lobbying politicians unethical and anti-competitive?
