Google Maps already does that.

Not well. It gives price ranges like "$6-$10", and with many short rides having price differences of $1-$2 its not actually useful for comparing Uber and Lyft. Plus their fare prices are often flat out wrong (as they cannot factor in account specific factors), and they link you into the native app to actually call the ride.

Doesn't Uber pay Google for that privilege? I'm in Toronto and I've only ever seen Uber fare estimates on Google Maps.

I don't know, but I've seen it list both Uber and Lyft for me.
