When LLM use approaches this number, running one locally would be, yes. What you and other commentator seem to miss is, "Uber" is a stand-in for Cloud-based LLMs: Someone else builds and owns those servers, runs the LLMs, pays the electricity bills... while its users find it "economical" to rent it.
(btw, taxis are considered economical in parts of the world where owning cars is a luxury)
