I think the general point to take away from notions like this is that many of these very profitable opportunities (Uber, airbnb, instacart, even private MOOC to replace education) are all responses to public infrastructure failures as our voting population becomes more and more self-centered and focused on individualist (i.e. extremist capitalist/Libertarian) economics and less willing to fund public infrastructure, be it in transportation, education, any public good really.

The solution that is always suggested is some form of leaning in harder to Libertarianism and trying to explain away how private control of infrastructure with a profit motive is somehow a good thing. Which makes sense taking the world view that [private profits == good, market economics are the only solution to any problem] for granted and if you're likely to be the private person controlling the infrastructure and its corresponding enormous untouchable profits. Incidentally, the private structures are even certainly better for everyone than the broken dilapidated infrastructure that exists right now (see: Uber) and so it's a net gain for the public in the short term, but it's dystopian in the long term.
