My guess is that giving drivers the destination info before you are actually in the car would increase drivers canceling pickups when they see the destination is somewhere they don't want to go, or not taking a pickup if they didn't want to haul all the way out to an airport, etc.

As I understand it, they generally like airport pickups. What they don't like are (a) "haul you out into the middle of nowhere near any other fares", and (b) "pick you up from the middle of nowhere and drive you for less than 10 minutes".
