I think it's just part of the gig economy. UberX and Lyft drivers are not typically professionals, they are people with jobs looking for part time income. If you want professional service go for Uber Black or your local limousine service. (not necessarily a lemo, they have smaller cars too)

I usually converse in an agreeable manner with my UberX and Lyft drivers to get a feel for different markets in the area and learn about other lifestyles. I think it is quite interesting!
