In principle, I agree with you.

However, we must remember that coolness isn't just coolness. There are labour laws and such that need to be in place to prevent people skirting them.

Sadly, laws don't catch up as fast as technology. I mean the only reason Uber is even decent is because of the existing shitty taxi laws across the world that allowed terrible monopolies to overcharge and not bother innovating.

The libertarian in me, wants these things to just happen. That being said, you have to respect local laws in which they operate.
