If you go down the list, every single reason written or not that illegal taxicabs for example are illegal doesn't apply to ride sharing platforms this is why you see such a major propagandist push from taxi companies about Uber drivers being rapists, serial killers, mass shooters etc while taxi drivers are angles.
The laws exist for a reason and it's not to protect the wages class of people who drive taxis. Since ride-sharing doesn't break the letter nor the spirit there is very little desire to change laws to make it illegal.
An individual choosing to break the law on the other hand, well, we've already seen what happens, things get bad fairly quickly as opposed to the decade plus of relatively spotless service from Uber and similar companies. There is even a statistically significant gap in DUIs compared to certain cities that banned ride-sharing companies, though I haven't seen a proper meta-analysis yet.
