Hmm... Uber and AirBnB were 'first wave' where there wasn't even any precedence to charge or regulate them. Now we see a ton of regulations in specific cities for both of those companies.

As for the scooters, maybe you just live somewhere else, but where I am in, it was a fucking NIMBY nightmare. They were throwing them in front of tech / private transportation buses and into the water. They were all banned for about 6 months until legislation came out.
