It seems to be very city specific. Had exact experience a few times while in Miami and switched back to Uber for rest of trip.

Drivers are smart, they network, and they talk. I'm sure theres some idiosyncratic thing going on where Lyft is more gameable for drivers in some cities. Could be Uber-Lyft price spread plus cancel policy / penalty on drivers.

Most of these guys drive around with N apps running, so they switch to more lucrative ride / app / etc on the fly.
