That was a great analysis, although I do have a small difference of opinion with you on point #7. Uber's key innovation and disruptive influence is in the customer experience, and I look forward to them finding a way for them to focus on that without exploting technicalities in worker characterization.

Key for you, maybe. Key for their ability to make money is their "innovation" in avoiding regulation and reducing labor costs.

Agreed. However, their (in)ability to do one without the other is not my problem.

Uber started a revolution; but there is no requirement that they survive it.
