How about quitting?

Yeah, we all for those poor people but only if it doesn't cost us much.

Quitting would be an act of protest in argument for a better alternative. Such as a government-mandated requirement.
You could argue he should quit because of personal ethical considerations.

But it seems like this is a broader issue regarding exploitation within modern capitalism. Not just limited to Uber.

In other words: if we allow it, it will happen. If not by Mr. Khosrowshahi, then someone else.

I 100% agree, but in this case it's just another type-A guy making an observation perhaps so he can feel good with himself but not really doing anything.

These people like to pretend they are poor empathetic souls but with no power, which is bullshit. If their ass is on the line or their business has an existencial threat, all of a sudden they know how to make the right phone calls and make things happen.

I buy what he's trying to paint, but I don't buy his hypocrisy.
