Everyone's trying to get on with their lives. However, everyone getting on with their lives crucially depends on other people doing their jobs. When a grave injustice is being committed the purpose of a strike is to say "we refuse to keep an unjust society running". A strike is an act of solidarity between people and the point specifically has to be to disrupt daily life. If a strike does not inconvenience anyone, then it isn't a strike.
By undermining the strike, Uber is saying that their profits are more important than the injustice being protested. They are saying that they are perfectly happy to help society function while it is committing such a grave act of injustice against a vulnerable minority. It is organizations and people like Uber who are perfectly willing to make money and let life go on as authoritarians destroy the lives of their fellow citizens that allow evil to persist and thrive. It is people who get on with their lives while those of their neighbors are being disrupted and destroyed that most threaten freedom.
