>Uber got where they are - managing a massive fleet of vehicles

Uber does not manage a massive fleet of vehicles. They don't have to service these cars, pay insurance on them, fill them up etc. They are just middle man that links people with cars with people without them.

They 'manage' a massive fleet of vehicles in that I can ask uber to send me a vehicle, to my specifications, and they will do so.

The clever part is that, yes, they don't own them. That was my point. Like, my entire point.

Read the parent post again. I think you will find that you are actually in agreement with it. You're just using the word "manage" differently. (For the record I think your usage is more correct)
