Wouldn't such cases result in bad ratings for the drivers?

I honestly don't recall ever having a driver lower than 4.2 or so ever when taking an Uber. My guess is both of those drivers were low to mid 4 stars as I didn't pay any attention to it.
Edit: to be totally clear: I did not agree in either situation, but tried to gracefully divert or redirect without escalating the situation. I didn't confront as, frankly, I wasn't sure if the person would have responded violently.
Uber is valuable, but I have kind of accepted the premise that an Uber drive is just a public transit experience with a customized destination. I should expect some potentially weird and possibly unpleasant interactions as part of the process.
I would 100% convert to Waymo only away from Uber just based on those two experiences and dozens if not hundreds of generally positive Uber experiences.
