Yes, it does.
Many nations have the reasonable law "Anyone has the right to property, given that the property is only used for the benefit of society as a whole".
Looking at it from that perspective, Uber trying to get a monopoly by avoiding full insurance, by using predatory pricing, etc, is very bad.
For the customer, the ideal would be a hundred seperate taxi companies, independent.
But all providing a simple web API to book, and then others could create webinterfaces and apps to interact with those APIs. Similar to taxi.eu or mytaxi.
