conversely uber is much cheaper in uk and sydney, compared to taxis. Much more convenient, and no competitors.

There are competitors in the UK, Addison Lee and Hailo to just mention two. Plus some taxi companies make their own apps.

There are no competitors in australia (that I'm aware of).

And in the UK the competitors must be much smaller, everyone I knew there always used uber.

Hailo is still metered fares IIRC. Gett, however gets you a Black Cab quote, I think.
