Killing the anachronistic and corrupt feudal medallion systems that some big North American cities used was a good thing, and that was one of their explicit goals... I'm no libertarian but there's plenty of municipal regulation that has an abominable effect on quality of life.
But once that was dead and all taxi competitors no longer have to pay medallion-holding gentry for the right to do business? Uber is just a massive pile of debt and some slick marketing that adds very little value. Now that my local taxi companies have mobile software basically as good as Uber plus decades of established good name in my community? I've no reason to use Uber.
