Uber has also gotten political cover, which is usually what you need to pay extra for. They don't have it in Seattle and are ending up fighting a local ordinance letting their regular drivers vote on whether all Uber drivers need to be union members in court.
If you're as big as Uber, paying your taxes is not enough, you need to show that you are a positive contributor to society so that society decides it shouldn't regulate you out of existence.
