you are introducing (perhaps deliberately straw manning, perhaps not) an example that has an extremely low overhead (low bandwidth over a network) instead of focusing on the presented example, which is: - Uber adds traffic to already choked up/bad infrastructure - Uber does not pay their employees benefits etc. because of their "partnership" so this leads to poorer health outcomes which cost the state $ later on - Uber "voluntarily" pays VAT etc. (only after taxis pushed for this) but almost certainly not commensurate with their income so yes, the company is dumping their enormous externalities without much regard for the country at hand, and it's not useful to insert a tech-focused example into the situation.
