Given Uber's high level of internal competitiveness, their culture issues, and their grow-at-all-costs ethos, I would be totally unsurprised that they have a lot more people than you'd see at a hypothetical saner company delivering the same value.

Even if that's true, it doesn't mean that a large cut like this will help anything. It's totally plausible that this will the make culture worse, get staff into a scarcity mindset, and reduce the levels of collaboration and value focus.

Losing weight can be good, but just cutting off a limb is not the best way to go about it.
