I don't really understand the point you're making. Why do small taxi companies have any more right to exist than Uber/Lyft? Or what exactly are they better at than Uber/Lyft that would justify keeping them around?

Any driver who was formerly driving for a small taxi company could simply drive for Uber/Lyft. So what is the benefit of having management be local vs centralized?

Local artisnal petite bourgeoisie businesses only available to middle class people living in downtown urban areas are the only moral form of capitalism! That and when you get tired of the city and decide to start a farm in rural Oregon.
