Why is the aversion to this so great that the authorities think that
they have to legislate against it, not for it (as other countries do)?

Something to do with bus regulation, perhaps? I think the
jitney/matatu type approach would work quite well in some UK towns,
particularly smaller ones, and that making it a little less chaotic by
using app-based booking would put a nice civilised edge on it.
