Uber's killer selling point is not skirting labor laws, it's facilitating connecting labor with demand via an app. Skirting labor laws certainly made them more attractive because it let them charge less, but I use Uber (well Lyft, but same thing) because it's convenient to pay and to get picked up and dropped off.
