It seems odd to me as well. I don’t use these services a lot but when I do it’s almist always because they’re better than dealing with a taxi. Rarely do I choose them on the basis of price.

For the most part, a taxi is only better when I'm at either an airport or a hotel. Otherwise, I far prefer Uber/Lyft because it's on-demand, no cash needed and don't have to explain my route or destination.

Yep. Sometimes I take a taxi from the airport because it’s right there and ready to go even though it costs more. Otherwise I will, within reason, use whatever gives me the best experiencr.
