The point is that Sanders benefits from something that he could not benefit from if his policies had already been enacted. A secondary point I made was how capitalism is so resilient that even though Sanders' camp doesn't agree with the policies that allow something like Uber to emerge and flourish, they don't realize this, and even if they did, their pocketbook decisions do not reflect their philosophies.
Much of the story of competitive markets has been people holding policy beliefs that would actually make them worse off yet engaging in behavior that subverts those beliefs and makes them better off. So even though a company like Uber couldn't emerge and flourish under the watch of a Sanders policy philosophy, it still does partly due to behaviors by those very same people that undermine the policy philosophy.
