For a while, in NYC at least, they tried the courier model, but that was a few years ago. Not really sure why it did not continue.

My guess is Uber's network wasn't optimized for reliability then. Food delivery has similar reliability requirements, but the stakes are lower. (Failed food deliveries produce complaints. Failed courier runs produce litigation.)
