I worry that they're just going to follow Twitter's lead: build an API, get developers to work on interesting new ideas, pull in the good ones and the slowly squeeze out devs by locking up the API.

This is completely different. Usage of the API will translate directly to more rides on the platform and more $$ for Uber. The company will have every incentive to keep developers happy if apps are increasing ridership.
