  The two times I used Uber, there was a single flat fee paid with no mention of a tip. The driver and I never discussed payment; it was all handled via the interwebs. Given that one of the perks of Uber is the "no fumbling with the credit card at the end of the ride", it would be rather divergent from the whole experience to be tipping separately. I wouldn't have much of an issue tipping if it were via the same payment mechanism, though. Feels weird not to after years of taking cabs.

  You misread the article. It's Uber's black car drivers that are annoyed because they don't get tips, while Uber's Taxi drivers get a built-in 20% tip. The black cars are Uber's flagship product, run the way they want it run (fair pay without tips). The Taxi system includes a tip because no taxi driver would accept a fare that didn't include a tip. But—the taxi drivers still earn less than the black car drivers.
