Dan,
You're too rational to be a lawyer, PR type, or corporate exec. I like that. Uber has bending and twisting words and ignoring laws since they started. If only a few other places would take on Uber AND the execs like France has, something might get sorted. I think, that if other countries did this, this might be good for Uber. Uber really need some good press after all the bad that they have had (and brought onto themselves, I might add) and going along with some local regulations or working to get them changed would be a good thing for them.
OTOH, I really don't see them changing. They keep taking on city hall and losing. Sooner or later, it will all catch up with them.
