It's interesting to me that, generally speaking, both Uber and it's drivers are fine with the way things are, entering into a mutually agreed upon contract...

Only to have people who have no skin in the game tell them both what they have to do... because it's 'the right thing'.

That's not the whole picture, though. You can't bring a bull to a full dance club and do a rodeo, just because you and the bull mutually agree. There is collateral damage here, taxpayers paying the social expenses meant to be paid by Uber and the unemployment money and services for the taxi drivers pushed into unemployment by the Uber money burning scheme for predatory pricing practices is something that is not mutually agreed upon with the governments. Uber is dancing on a thin thread on this https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/001985...

So the government imposed a bit of a less radical change, as predatory pricing consists of predating(done) and recoupment(not happened yet). This is the legal term for Microsoft embrace, extend, extinguish practice.
