There can be an argument that Uber's expensive policy-mongering is enabling the competition. Lyft doesn't have to do any lobbying, it just has to lie in its wake while Uber does everything for it pretending to be the nicer company. As long as Uber is out there wreaking regulation havoc, Lyft is happy to sit back and let Uber do that. Perhaps Lyft doesn't want Uber to die, since they're basically the ones spending money to make Lyft viable at all.
