Socialize Uber

Since the workers already own most of the capital (in the form of vehicles they own and maintain), it would make a lot of sense for them to form a cooperative and capture more of the profits they and their capital are generating. Creating such a competing network does not require actually seizing any of the assets of "Uber Technologies, LLC".

Would you argue that Uber et al. deserve to be protected from that alternative, other than by outcompeting it?
