This is purely Uber trying to keep the truth from both sides. They know drivers don't want to take short/crappy/long/etc drives. They know these drivers use various means to avoid taking those rides, yet they do nothing about it because if they did they'd lose half their "taxi driver" contingent of drivers. So instead they play this cat mouse game that just drags the problem out whilst everyone is equally unhappy.
