Why is uber a crappy company? And how have they been anticompetitive?

[ukigumo]

Because they don't "oblige themselves" to follow local regulation and are therefore able to offer services at lower rates, even at the expense of the occasional fine.

Apparently being better than the competition is anti-competitive.

Being "better than the competition", by e.g. using children of slave labour is anti-competitive yes.

Being "better than the competition", by sidestepping laws and regulations, like Uber does, is also anti-competitive.
