It doesn't end asymmetry when politicians can use a car service, but most people can't afford to.

It's creates a new and unstoppable asymmetry where wealthy people can avoid this tracking mechanism, but the poorer people cannot, and anyone can exploit the poorer people in society.

Politicians and powerful people will never feel the effects of this.

This.

I wish people would understand that "losing perceived power", such as recognizing that an information asymmetry exists, is a completely different situation than "never having had power".

There are valid arguments for creating information symmetry, but it's not going to actually fix anything except lack of symmetry.
