Its because its fashionable to beat the horse that Uber is a terrible company led by a terrible man. I personally am no fan of Uber or Travis, but I do get disgusted sometimes when the media hypes certain perceptions to an inappropriate degree.

So for all means continue to investigate the seemingly terrible and anti-women culture and the fraudulent stealing of Technology from Google. But like you said, don't mischaracterize other facts to make them sound more terrible than what they really are.

Because it violated their agreement with Apple and accessed private APIs, infringed on user privacy, and they geofenced the behavior to try to sneak it past app review. It's another example of Uber knowingly being evil.

Well for one, it's against Apple's rules to do this. And just because it's "industry practice" doesn't mean you get a free pass.
