It's actually destabilizing on societal level. Those companies usually offer very good service for the customer, dumping the risk on third parties. The government tries to step in, and then faces loud opposition from general population who likes the service and cannot for the world understand why the administration thinks there's a problem.

I don't know. I just wish local government would have more balls, acted more decisively. AFAIK Germany is the only one who successfuly managed to (mostly) get rid of Uber.
