Why should they be on the hook for it? Shouldn't the per mile/minute rate that they pay the driver already theoretically covers it.

It doesn't.

Source? Uber's rate for san francisco ($0.91 per mile) is way above the IRS's standard mileage rate, which is only $0.625 per mile. I'm sure that there are ways to make your costs exceed that (eg. if you get a short dated lease, or an expensive car), but that seems like the driver's problem than uber's problem.

Then don't work for Uber, Doordash, etc?
