And the reason there's a long line of taxis at the airport is because the drivers wants the fare. If there was one or a few companies that owned all the cars, they would make sure there always would be close to an optimum amount of cars at the airport. Cars not in use during low demand hours are either just parked somewhere where the parking is dirt cheap or in for service.

Well, that's not the real issue, the real issue is that unloading and loading of taxis at airports is at best chaotic.
The local airport has similar issues with Lyft or Uber, which are in a separate zone from the taxis, so if it were possible to optimize better they probably would've tried already.
