Yes many people don't care, and I have also noticed many people aren't even aware of any the Uber negative press. And usually after I bring it up, they still don't care. One thing I find interesting to consider is how "uber" succeeded in becoming a verb in popular language similar to how "google it" is the equivalent of saying perform an Internet search. Once something gets ingrained in language like this I feel like it affects us psychologically - the average Joe can still choose between Uber/Lyft/xyz, but it's so easy to forget the competitors' names when other people are using language like "uber over here and meet me".
