There's just no way that Uber can't be cutting into their business.

Oh I have no doubt Uber is cutting into their business, I just don't think that's why there are more cabs available late on Friday and Saturday. Much higher volumes of cabs out working on Friday or Saturday night than just over a month ago. Cabbies could pick and chose when they worked when there was the monopoly. Uber has forced them to be on the streets Friday and Saturday nights now, and they can cherry pick their runs anymore.
