I think their point was that well-off people who travel all the time are still a tiny portion of the population.

Sure, but that tiny portion still supports the bulk of the airline and hotel industry, and (I suspect) a very disproportionate share of Uber's business.

They basically support the whole transport industry. First-class seat planes account for 10% of usage and 30% of revenue. That's huge.
