Can you elaborate here? (Honestly asking since I'm not seeing the similarity)

My understanding of that phrase is that "pull an Uber" means "break laws and social norms to more quickly deliver a product that beats the status quo". Uber broke laws in some regions that required special taxi licenses, and it broke social norms by blurring the lines between contractor and full-time employees when it took away certain employee freedoms common for contractors while not giving them full-time employment benefits.
