I already explained why: because there's no tipping mechanism in the Uber app.

The mere fact that a tipping mechanism exists in the Lyft app is an endorsement that the practice is encouraged. Contrast that with the
statement I previously provided from Uber, and you should clearly see the difference.
I don't care that you think Uber is misleading the whole world.
I don't care that you think I'm cheap.
I don't care that you've detailed a hypocritically lopsided driver rating process in each of your few posts on this board.
I will not start carrying and spending local currency for the sole purpose of tipping Uber drivers.
I will start rating drivers a maximum of less than 5* if I get even the slightest suspicion that my own rating is being affected by me following Uber's guidelines that "[t]ips are not ... expected or required."

And I will suggest that if you don't like Uber focus on Lyft.
Feel free to discuss this with your friends on the other forum; I'm sure it's representative of far more riders than you've convinced yourself.
