Uber the company has higher operating costs, and their service isn't better. The entire value proposition is "cheaper" and always has been.

This isn't true. "More convenient than hailing a cab" has also been a very large component of the value proposition. As has "knowing where the driver is on their way to you."

Cheaper is a big part, but not all of it by a long shot.
