As a driver, collecting money sounds awkward, slow, risky for a dash, and certain to change the dynamic with the passenger.

As a passenger, cash is far less convenient, and paying at the end of a ride is awkward, slow, and certain to change the dynamic with the driver.

I'm sure 99% percent of drivers will choose 30% more money vs "avoiding risky cash". And they have an option of direct money transfer through mobile phone too.
As a passenger, to me cash is far more convenient, as it preserves my privacy and nobody can overcharge me. The bill is usually 20-30% lower than Uber.
