The rider could have changed their destination in the app. Or Lyft could have swapped drivers and then the other driver canceled. Or the driver’s phone could have gone offline without him noticing due to bad cell reception. Or about a million other reasons - I don’t know the specific circumstances so it’s hard to say.

Driver switching has been happening for years though, way before I saw priority pickup as a rider.
