Partitioning your company into legal entities is like creating folders on your hard drive. Yes, shielding one entity from liabilities in another can be one reason to make a partition, but I really don't think that's the main driver here. It just helps your administration to group stuff logically. For a company the size of Uber it would become a mess if they had one entity that worked in dozens of countries. Are you suggesting they should do that?
