I would say that the average Uber driver is, as you said, better than the average taxi driver. But I have a few counterpoints: 1) That's a good argument to adding a rating system to taxis, not trashing the industry entirely. 2) I bet if taxis were much cheaper than an Uber a lot of people would go for the cheaper ride over the better one. Sort of like how UberBlack is so much less popular than UberX.
