I think there's probably a middle ground between the ordering/app experience of one of these services, and the "I just want to sit in the back and ignore you" of a taxi. No taxi I've taken recently has enabled me to smoothly order and pay by app.

I'm not asocial, but sometimes I'd rather just get from A-to-B without fuss.

Oddly, I've found London taxis to be the best at this. They're usually able to keep up on a conversation about a variety of things - we once had a taxi driver explain to us all the nasty parts of the brewing process of Stella Artois - but they're quite happy to let you sit in the back and not talk if you want.
