Doesn't your point support the quote? Taxi driving was dangerous because of cash and being a robbery target, and Uber changed that.

In my area taxis had credit card machines, but it was common for them to "not work" so the cabbie could fleece you for extra money driving you to an ATM on the way. And then they'd refuse to give change so you'd have to pay in $20 increments. Uber definitely disrupted that.
Uber didn't change that, electronic payment changed that.
The electronic payment that was always "broken" unless you were comfortable enough with confrontation to call the taxi driver's bluff?
I've never experienced a "broken" machine in a cab.
