I think just about every taxi company these days is on some app or another (often the same that call unregulated cabs in countries that actually got their shit together and banned the unregulated ones).

I'd like to point out this probably would have taken another 10-15 years to achieve had it not been for the disruption of said ridesharing apps.

Just because there's a inconvenience for consumers doesn't mean you make workers suffer instead of fixing the problem.

I'm assuming/ hoping you mean the taxi drivers when you say workers.

I empathize with anyone who's livelihood is affected by changes in society. But stagnating progress because someone somewhere will be negatively impacted only assures no progress will ever be made.
