I get around London in a regular taxi just fine?

If only taxis in the rest of the world were as good as London's, Uber probably wouldn't exist.
Agreed. But given that legacy dispatch infra is bad/inefficient, you need rider density to support the quality of service of a London.
Great. Now try Tallahassee, Florida. Or Liverpool. Or the myriad of other non-global/dense city with limited public transportation infrastructure especially during off hours.
Except in zone 1 Ubers are still way more convenient than other taxis.
