Just because Uber wants to disrupt the Taxi industry does not mean that they have any obligation or ability to also fight malaria, human trafficking, stop world hunger and terrorism, or house the homeless.
By all means, it would be ideal if the people getting rich would devote some of their wealth and, after retirement, perhaps some of their time, to tackling these problems. Bill Gates has been doing great work advocating this sort of philanthropy and we should all encourage that.
Uber isn't a charity though, their mission statement isn't fighting these problems. If they want to make corporate donations to charities, that is fantastic, but they are not a charity themselves. Expecting solutions from them to these problems is unfair.
