Because like many have mentioned, Uber clearly relies on drivers working for next to nothing, and they know even the smallest of regulations and fees above and beyond what normal citizen drivers pay is going to wreck their model.
It relies on Joe Blow hearing about it and going "yeah, I sit on my couch many nights anyway, so I'll sign up and pick up some spending cash. Hell, I'll start this weekend and make an extra $40".
If step one to that extra spending cash is a fee and a new license, then 95% of the Joe Blow's out there sit back down on the couch.
