A lot of people on both sides are scared of the "direct deal" situation whereas in practice it is extremely uncommon.

When was the last time you asked a Uber employee for their phone number?

uber is not repeat business. Some platforms with repeat business like upwork see this a lot

I don't think that applies.

A lot of people user Uber everyday. Not everyone uses Upwork more than once.
