I arrived at Miami station last week and got an uber, not one of the waiting taxis, because I wanted
1) Guarantee of payment by card
2) Guarantee of receipt
3) Guarantee of going to the right destination
The week before I landed at Dulles and got an Uber. The queue for the taxis was very long, but the wait for Uber was hardly quick either. Last time I took a taxi in DC they refused to take card. That was pre-covid, but why would I take the chance again.

So then it depends on taxi services. I'm not in the US, and all the three points you listed are more than guaranteed by actual taxi companies around here. In addition to that, I also will be made aware of the price in advance.

Taxi companies did it to themselves.
