ah I see. Thanks for elaborating. I get the point you're making, and in general I would agree. However, in this case ("uber for x") the term is so prevalent

ah I see. Thanks for elaborating. I get the point you're making, and in general I would agree. However, in this case ("uber for x") the term is so prevalent in tech/start up culture that I find it hard to believe it's the best way to describe every single product it's getting slapped on. To me it would be the same as labelling every single new fast food chain as "The McDonalds of clam cakes" or "The McDonalds of pizza".
