The special cases you bring up are scenarios where there's a significant externality offsetting the fare.
If I take a rideshare to the airport, I don't have to leave my car in expensive airport parking for several days until my return. That can pay for a significant markup on the trip charge.
If I take a rideshare to a bar, I'm trying to dodge a $10,000 DWI ticket.
If I use one intermittently in Manhattan, it's likely part of the "few people own a car in Manhattan" dynamic, which is tied in part to having to pay hundreds of dollars per month just for parking said car.
