It seems like Uber has a bad habit of staying in a city even when the government tries to shut it down. Looks like they've found a more effective way to block them!

As soon as they require any kind of responsibility, they get the hell out of there! What a scummy company.

Uber operates on a constant churn of finding new sucker drivers to replace the current ones that will inevitably burn out. If you want to do this every now and then to make a few quick bucks there are better ways to do it but whatever Uber isn't your worst option. As soon as you even get remotely close to using it for steady income is when the cards are stacked against you. You'll notice that the ads on the radio are targeted at recruiting drivers, not passengers. This is for a reason.

Uber's customers are drivers, not passengers. Everything makes more sense when you look at everything from that angle.
