This is perhaps a life lesson you should consider.
Why stop there? Why tip the Uber driver when you could be donating that money to feed a dozen starving children in Africa/Asia? I mean, uber drivers are neither starving or homeless.
I get there are less fortunate people in the world, and I never forget how grateful I am to have the life I have. But I also believe people must help themselves to get where they want in life through hard work and overcoming their own unique set of obstacles. I would rather pressure companies pay decent wages and have the tip baked into their pricing model rather than putting the burden on the customer, and then penalizing them if they don't tip.
