If we allow companies to only service the group of people that are the most profitable, we risk excluding others from purchasing that service altogether. That's the exact same reason why Obama-care (sorry I don't know the correct name for it) disallows the insurance companies from excluding people with pre-existing conditions. I understand rule and service levels are different around the world, but allowing Uber, AirBNB and other to pretend that all the rules are solely in place to keep competition out is doing society a disservice.

In many cities it's definitely possible to make a system that's better than the old one for everyone (except for certain investors).
