This is pretty standard Uber tactic. Short of the city allowing Uber to self-regulate itself, it's always going to complain. Afterwards, what happens depends on the value of the market, the backbone of the government and the amount of popular support Uber can generate.
So that's why you have the hodge podge of regulations ranging from heavily regulated NYC, modestly regulated markets like Houston and Las Vegas to many almost-anything-goes markets which has led to drivers driving for 23c/mile in Detroit.
