Some, I've posted about this before but in many areas of Oakland parking is so inexpensive/free that cars are parked basically indefinitely. If you then want to just run into the bank or pick up take out (and you are driving) your options are drive around for a long time to find a spot, stop in the bike lane or just leave your car in the middle of the road. As someone who drives and cycles routinely I understand the choice. In Berkeley parking is time limited and expensive and you can usual find a spot to run in quickly.
I don't mind ubers quickly stopping to drop someone off on a non-separated bike lane as long as they don't cut people off and signal and merge safely. I'm happy to wait behind them or merge around just like a car would had they stopped in the main traffic lane. We can share the infrastructure, just don't leave your car in the bike lane!
