While I agree completely with you on some of the differences, one of the best things about Uber (in my opinions) is that the transaction is cashless and centralized. I don't have to know or find the number for a cab, I use the app. Even if the driver is a good one, I may not use him next time because I don't want to pay him a new way. Massages are more personal and I'm still skeptical of the service, but I think the model has more benefits for other services than some people are implying.
