Your analogy is perfect, because you can self-host your own “Uber”, by owning, renting, or leasing a car and using it to drive yourself around. Uber may have become more expensive, but cars didn’t go away or see less use.

I also like is Rick Beato’s analogy:

Music studios were expensive, commercially ran enterprises, but were mostly replaced by software that runs at home.

Studios still exist for some situations, but recording itself has been commoditized, since everyone is running the same software.

And oh, now people are doing waaaay more of it.

Cars and renting existed long before Uber.
