The app does not include tipping. Ergo, I know Uber's official stance on tipping. I know how they designed their platform and how they intended it to function all along. @:-)

By contrast, I also know Lyft's stance on tipping. It's completely different than Uber's. The differences in the positions of the two companies is completely apparent after 1 ride with each.

Side-bribing drivers with cash is a nonstarter. I'm simply never going to do it, ever.
Interestingly I've never used Lyft. Care to elaborate? Are they in your face about tipping?
