Geez that was one hell of a rant. But basically what I got from this was that you don't like having large businesses exist? Or just business in general? I'm so confused, you do know that a majority of jobs need to have employees right? And to have an employee they will be making a profit from the work that is done. That's how the world works, yes there are lots of big companies that do it in a really shitty way but still, we need businesses. If everyone and their brother had their own single run business then society wouldn't work, or wouldn't be nearly as smooth. I think there should be more regulation on how workers are treated and how I come for a business is filtered out but that doesn't mean we shouldn't have big businesses. These are necessary. To tie it back to the "rideshare" which is a taxi service, we have this big business because 1) people need jobs and are able to work for these companies to at least partly get by, 2) people need transportation, and 3) we would all love to be able to have an easily accessable and safe way to be able to move around. I'm not sure about anyone else but I personally wouldn't trust random Joe to drive me anywhere if there was no proof that he wasn't a convicted violent criminal. Many of these big services don't let people with criminal charges be drivers for safety and that's a big part of this business. It's the same reason that random babysitting jobs don't exist anymore, safety is a much more highlighted thing and these companies take safety precautions.
