I do agree with you, but most of Uber's spend is on tech salaries and (superfluous) marketing. I suppose the more direct point I'm trying to make is that if Uber is spending $BILLIONS on salaries but Larry's cat can allegedly do the same work, why hasn't Larry created the app? Presumably he could even license the tech other companies who want to compete with Uber but don't have the time to build out the app from scratch. I'm sure Tesla or Apple or BMW or Porsche would love to diversify revenue streams.
