Question - let's say as a passenger that you get seriously hurt in an Uber, and nobody's insurance will cover your rehab or lost wages. Wouldn't long term disability through work benefits cover it? It just seems like there's so many avenues to have it covered. We pay so many different types of insurance premiums...

That may work for some but not necessarily for others.
I don't have any long-term disability benefits at my employment. I would have to resort to Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped (AISH) and let the province (and your taxes) take care of me.
And... having met Calgary handibus passengers (now know as Calgary Transit access (tm)) that were hurt by un-identified drivers in hit and runs, I really wouldn't wish that fate on my worst enemy.
