Airbnb maybe, in Europe booking.com seems to have better deals even if they offer similar service to Airbnb these days.

Uber and other ride sharing apps improved UX immensely and still are cheaper for consumers than regular taxes.

Neither AirBnB or Uber are anywhere close to being monopolies aside from maybe a few markers that I'm not aware of.

For employees yeah, pay and conditions are not great compared to normal taxi drivers OTH the demand is higher and there are more "jobs" on aggregate.
