Don't disagree with your point. If Uber drivers expect tips, and the app doesn't have a tip option, then cash is the only answer. Cash tips may be a deterrent to those traveling on business due to expense report policies. Another post implied that business expense reimbursement policies always permit tips without a receipt and therefore this wouldn't be a concern if the tips were within reason. To that blanket statement I disagree.
Just like I avoid taxis that don't take CC, an Uber driver expecting a cash tip will be disappointed due to expense report policies of my clients.

The inconvenience of tipping is understood, but I think the reimbursement aspect is a bit of a stretch.
