You're partly wrong about both Lyft and AirBnB. Yes price is the most important factor for many, but there are other factors too.
For Lyft, the fact that they aren't ethics/attitude-challenged is worth something to me. And I'm not a crunchy save-the-world type. It would take significantly more than a $0.01 discount - more than $1 - to persuade me to go back to using Uber. Also Lyft drivers tend to be friendlier.
For AirBnB, I pretty much only buy on price. But there is a substantial segment of people who "don't like hotels" that like AirBnB. Most AirBnb listings aren't that competitive when it comes to price vs. hotels.
