If it was more expensive, the startups couldn't afford to exist. It costs me more to pay for parking where I live than to pay for rideshares multiple times a week.
Thats just parking, not to mention insurance or, you know, the actual vehicle.
Taxis don't only exist due to cost. It's more convenient to take a cab across London because even if you have unlimited money, finding parking is a pain in the arse, you have to think about it, etc.
Or you might just be tipsy after a night out.
I've never taken a cab to save money; I'm not sure I've ever been in a situation where it would be cheaper than just taking public transport or driving.
It's just a different option with different pros and cons.

You've got that exactly backwards:

Not necessarily.
