Uber & Lyft need a large pool of drivers readily available. The quick pickup is a key part of the experience that makes them superior to taxis. Especially drivers who are rated well. I'd be kind of surprised if a driver's rating didn't factor into their entire incentive program. I carried a 4.9 Uber rating by the time I quit driving and they were issuing some really attractive incentives by the end.
