Or maybe they have that (dirt cheap) benefit so folks would assume they have great benefits.

How costly and valuable are a few Uber rides per year (that are also justified as a business expense)?

Now compare that to a decent 401k matching program...

It's not dirt cheap, you can take 2 1hr $50 uber X rides a day if you so feel, and I don't think there is a limit? It's actually fairly generous.

Your still paying tax on it although, but it still would cost the company $2000 per month.

A company can also just give you more money without a 401k condition behind that matching program, and you can decide to put the money in. They don't have a large retail staff, so they can also probably do things like the mega backdoor roth too.
