I don't love our cab industry, but this seems similar to a politician from a rural riding voting to keep farm subsidizes.

It's still a small part of his constituency, but there's 0 reason to piss them off when there's not enough 'support the other way.' He knows there's a problem with the industry, but rather than piss the industry off and hurt his chances with a vocal minority going against him he supports them. He's far from the first politician to do so, hell most of them do, but that's not loyalty.
In any case, my point was that Ray Jones is knowledgeable about Uber. He's not some elderly man who can't figure out our crazy contraptions and gizmos. He's bumbling around because he can't come up with a good argument but still wants to argue in favour of the taxis.
