"Why? What immoral bullshit?"
You can't be serious. Hiring private investigators to stalk journalists? Promoting sexual harassment in his company? Obtaining the private medical records of someone raped by one of their drivers?
"These journalists have a vendetta against Travis that is not in my view reasonable. I will continue to use Uber if only to spite the press."
So nothing wrong with sexual harassment, then?

If not Lyft it'd be someone else though. There just aren't that many barriers to entry in this space.

FTFY.
Why? What immoral bullshit?
Lyft is basically free-riding off Uber. Uber does the heavy lifting taking on the entrenched taxi companies who have insulated themselves from competition via local politics and regulation and Lyft swoops in once the hard work is done, trying to convince customers who have bought into the media narrative that they are the ethical alternative to Uber. I don't buy this narrative. These journalists have a vendetta against Travis that is not in my view reasonable. I will continue to use Uber if only to spite the press.
