Drivers won't move to a new service that has no demand. Customers won't use a service that has 15+ minute wait times when they could be in an Uber in 3. Google can reasonably claim not to have a forcing monopoly because they and their competitors are directly providing all of the relevant value, so a competitor (Microsoft, Yahoo) could provide exactly the same service even while Google continues to exist. Uber and co. don't directly provide anything, and only work with the existence of a driver/consumer network. If they paid drivers directly for their time and not just on commission, it would be different, but then it wouldn't be Uber.
