Why is tipping the baseline expectation? I personally use Uber explicitly to avoid tipping.

Because Uber's wages are low.

From my perspective, a valuable service that Uber provides me is to get rid of the hassle and annoyance of tipping.

Of course, for this to be done well they need to pay the drivers enough that tipping is not necessary.
