To draw a parallel - airport Ubers are still $5, but you can't buy a 2nd hand prius any more!

Following your parallel: Except the fact that you still need a car in your life, even if you take an uber to the airport when needed :)

And in this analogy you need to spend a lot more when buying a car, no matter if it's a new or 2nd hand one, following the price inflation caused by cheap Ubers. So in essence, my question is how much have those cheap Uber rides then cost you in reality, when factoring in the directly related price increases for the things you need and buy? Is it a net positive or negative at the end of the day for anyone other than the very few at the very top of the system?
