There is little president for healthy industry being killed by bands of unionized workers. Charitably, one might think of rust belt car industry or Britain's mines and railways. Though of course, there was no way those industries could have realistically competed with foreign economies even if all labour was given away for free.

But consider this: if collectively all drivers would go on strike indefinitely (or at least, stop using platforms and instead hustled their rides old school). Would that mean the end for Uber and Lyft? Off course not. They'd take a few punches financially, but they'd be able to pivot, build something else. They have great engineers and money, and no one is forcing them to take such a huge cut.
