At least in the US you can pre-book. I’m no Uber fan but I haven’t experienced this cancelation you mention.

You can “prebook” an Uber but they explicitly state that they will only try and find you a car automatically at that time, not guarantee one/arrange a driver in advance. So it’s basically just automating the “find me an Uber” button press. At least this is how it works in the UK.

Yup, I’ve had exactly this issue, so I always end up going with a local minicab service for early morning airport flights.

Sadly, especially for a prebooked car for a 4am pickup in the suburbs (to the airport), their prebooking doesn’t mean much.
