You're not weird and this is precisely why Uber is still the market leader. But there is a cohort, in some specific areas where Lyft's network is on par with Uber's such that price, and more specifically targeted discounts, do play a part. Lyft can analyze which one of its riders has not taken a ride in a while (and is hence presumably using Uber) and target them with discounts.
