It's a fair point, but Uber still does a lot of bullshit. Freight, Eats, Packages, Scooters, Public transport SaaS stuff, and probably others I don't know about. Plus, they're doing that stuff internationally. Uber might start to focus on winning the US but can they against a leaner, meaner, and more focused Lyft?
It's also the classic bundled vs individual components debate. Uber is bundled and Lyft is a component. Usually there's room in the market for both.

I have no idea if it's a profitable venture for them - supposedly they're the "operating partner" which I guess means the actual owners pay them a fee to handle all the logistics while the owners themselves are responsible for the profit and loss of the system overall. Can anyone provide more detail here?
