Can Uber ever make money?

I wonder if this is a uniquely American problem. Over here (Australia) it's always a couple of short sentences ('how'zit goin'?', 'yeah good') then awkward silence the rest of the trip.

Unless the cricket is on the radio, then all bets are off.

I figure probably 80% of my rides are as you describe. But I don't know what it is about airport pickups. I guess it's easy to start a conversation with "where are you flying from?" maybe, and then they don't want to stop after I give a terse answer.
