Because without above consumer benefits, people would not use Uber, and it would stand no chance whatsoever of being a profitable business.

Would people pay for these benefits if Uber was 20% more expensive than it is now? 50%? 100%?

This is a question worth considering, given that rides are currently subsidized with VC $$$.
