If true, then Uber dropped the ball again when it came to PR.

  The problem is you trusted Uber in the first place

  When a company does something immoral, why do people always say "well that's bad because it's bad PR"? How about, that's bad because it's immoral?

    In my view it's because immorality only really affects a company if it's perceived as immoral (i.e. is a PR issue)

    Morality is a human standard of behavior, corporations are non-human persons. I realize this can seem like a cynical take, but if you look at the devestation to our planet, and even human life, I think you can see it's an attempt to be accurate, not cynical. The people who run a corporation can struggle to maintain a moral direction, but that aim is orthogonal to the goals of the firm and when a conflict arises, it's "logical" for the company to replace whoever diverts it from its goal.

    Because immoral actions don't tend to hurt the bottom line, in fact generally the opposite. Until, that is, someone shines a light on said immoral behavior for the public to see. Then it tends to have an effect, small as it may usually be.

    Because it's assumed that a company can do whatever it wants as long as it's self serving and not blatantly illegal.
