The original concept of Uber was ~~ride-sharing~~ undercutting traditional taxis by operating at a loss until the taxi model was essentially dead and then using newfound monopolistic power to juice profits from every angle with reckless disregard for people or the environment they live in until/if regulators stop us.

That wasn't the original concept, you're confusing the phase 1 marketing pitch for the "concept".
