I keep hearing about this 'uber didn't lose the money' argument, but this also coincides with a hiring freeze. this comes at a time when talent for engineers is extremely hot. if everything was growing as you say, then it wouldn't make sense to start throwing things overboard

That doesn't automatically mean that they need to hire more engineers. Maybe they also have a reasonable amount of them, and since the older products have matured their focus can be shifted to the newer products instead of hiring new people for new products.
