I consider this an anti-perk which makes amex plat more expensive beyond its $550 annual fee. FWIW my uber rating is 4.9+. Will likely cancel amex this year.
Are you comparing Uber to lift and fees in Seattle? If so this thread from the way I understand is to see when people have their AMEX platinum card tied to their Uber account would fares be higher than an Uber account alone without a platinum card attached
