The general idea is that any business will try to optimize for revenue within the law and certain moral hang-ups (or at least the fear of moral hang-ups being captured by the press). The idea, just like with any business, is that if drivers are unhappy then they can choose another job. If enough of them do, Uber will make a change once the number of resignations start affecting the bottom line. I don't know of many companies that would change a policy just to make the driver's happy in a move that might stymie business.
