I get those in France, too, with regular Uber. They try to get me to buy something or other on Uber Eats "for when I arrive". At like 2 in the morning. And no, I don't live in NY or somewhere with restaurants open 24/7.

They also have a share (or something, not sure how this works) in a bike-sharing scheme. So, I often get notifications while in the car like "oh, you could ask your driver to stop here and get a bike for the rest of your journey". Right. If I was willing to ride a bike, I'd already be on one. If I'm in your car, it's probably because it's pouring rain, or I'm too tired / drunk.
