Certainly, if you construct enough postulates, you can wind up in some funny places. If you forget your cash, is a shop obligated to give you the goods for free? What if you fail to read the sign in the car saying "NO LOBSTERS" and you have your crustacean for a walk?

What if you made a new Uber account with another email address? Would you be committing a venal sin?

Your actual sin, non-venal, was not naming the thread either "I love reductive argument ad absurdiam" or "Uber needs a real human on the helpdesk, this is why"

Uber accounts are tied to phone numbers. Should I get a new phone number just because Uber's support bot is incapable of helping me recover my account?

This itself is an actual problem.
