In the US? Liability. Uber has lots of money, so slippin’ jimmy would have a field day

How are ordinary bike companies immune from this kind of lawsuit?

In US liability is everywhere and in everything. With that logic it would be impossible to sell anything (imagine liability associated with a copy of Windows!). I'm not lawyer but I can imagine donating these bikes with clear legal contract with receiver in a state where this won't be issue.
