But you are a part of the app. You tap a button on the app and a car magically appears and rides you to your destination. You're ordering a transportation service by an anonymous driver.
Exactly now, if you were to offer your personal services with personal branding where you being the driver and engaging with the customer was part of it, I might see difference. But with taxi apps driver just fills the role of service worker.
I could kinda see point if we had actual ride-sharing, but Uber and Lyft are just renamed taxis.
