It’s not cutting out the middle man - it’s replacing the middle man with a software middle man. The only way that doesn’t lead to a monopoly is if there are multiple software middle men competing.

It replaced a dozen taxi companies in each city with a monopoly or an duopoly (when lyft is also present).
