My understanding is that Uber is relatively top-tier both in difficulties of interviewing and competitiveness of getting hired there - is this not the case? If it is, it seems kind of disingenuous to think they did her a favor when in reality she could probably pick and choose 80% of the companies in SV if Uber was looking to hire her.

It is indeed a high bar, but not every top-tier company has a role open for someone with her skill set at the same time. I can't speak to specifics on who else she talked to, but she is damn good at what she does.
