I'm sure they are being pissed on by governments because they're a net loss to society. People just like to use shiny smartphone to order a taxi.
I hate that new libertarian trend of pretending to solve a socio economical problem, while it requires a smartphone and a fast dataplan. The army developped those techs and now it's being used for profits and profits. Oddly there is so little money involved in techs like bittorrent or openstreetmap, etc.
Investors should really think about having a legitimate improvement for society. I mean if I was an investor, I would be so much proud of creating free services. That's the only way honest improvements has ever worked, when it was not so much profit driven.

And that's why you and I are not investors, but just poor developers who like making video games. There aren't many investors out there who care about actual improvement for society; I might hesitantly point to few names, but that's it. For the rest it's just another level of money-making-money game.
