However, I have not met a business expense reimbursement policy that does not allow for tips without receipt (within reason, of course).
The inconvenience of tipping is understood, but I think the reimbursement aspect is a bit of a stretch.

Uber can't solve it there. I'd love to see a hotel boldly step up and say "We're providing all of these services in a no-tipping environment." But Uber was on a track towards solving it for their platform: a no-tip environment.
If this lawsuit has forced them to accept a tipped environment (IANAL, and I don't even know what the legal issue around tips is), then the least they can do is mimic the Lyft app and present it as an option at the end of the ride.
