For me this is the real evolution, and what was needed all along. I've used the apps you're talking about in Europe and Asia, and they're great.

Hear, hear. I don't miss the old taxi model, and Uber/Lyft came in with simple, strong improvements in usability and payments, as users outlined above. But after 12 years, Uber has shown itself to be what it is: an expensive, shitty vampire.
