Should a real gentleman be seen in a Hackney Coach? Progress then, progress now.
More to the point really would be the freedom of disruption of a changing market. The old establishment Hackney coach, which also had a political lock on the market, lost to the sleek Hansom cab which became the consumers choice mode of transport.
Mainframe computer manufacturers didn't do anything wrong for their elite cadre of dedicated customers so to speak, they just failed to see the threat in a cheaper, poorer-quality product that initially reaches less profitable customers but eventually takes over and devours an entire industry.
Do I want the service of being able to tap my phone and get the closet available ride, or do I need to go through the establishment bureaucracy of calling the Black Cab company, describing where to pick me up, waiting for the cab to arrive, etc? And, still there is nothing preventing localities from requiring drivers be "professional drivers", licensed, bonded and etc.
As for Schumpeter, his idea that; "...collapse of capitalism from within will come about if democratic majorities vote for restrictions upon entrepreneurship that will burden and destroy the capitalist structure." is not far from accurate in many places. It is certainly a restriction to the point of suffocation.
