They can. Uber added nothing to market other than an app, which everyone was doing for every potential business at the time anyways.

Their differentiators though were primarily the crazy amount of VC money they were willing to lose and the fact that they had absolutely no qualms about trampling about each and every law they could. To the point that they would break laws that they didn't even need to.

But asking for forgiveness when you have a ton of VC money is obviously better than not messing up in the first place.

Only good thing is thst, I hope, the market is seeing through these criminals (at best).

It's nice to see European bureaucracy at work and actually enforcing rules. Seems like it's much more resistant to regulatory capture than the US where, looks like, you can just flaunt any laws if you have enough money.
