That's kind of how society evolves isn't it? Rules are always changing and that's generally a good thing. Some rules are pretty set in stone throughout history - eg. murder and fraud are generally bad. Other rules around free speech, slavery, energy usage/production, social safety nets, etc., have changed for the better.
You could argue that Uber and Airbnb are worse but I think the fact that they've stuck around despite allegedly breaking rules means that most people prefer the new state of affairs that they resulted in. If something else comes up that breaks rules set by Uber and results in something better (eg. autonomous vehicles?) then I'm sure people will gravitate to that new thing as well.
