Dear god, if there weren't enough people willing to pay for it, then they obviously mispriced it. Someone was a dumbass and elected to agree to the surge pricing instead of waiting for a price controlled cab then decided to complain about it. Besides, the highest price I've found was $550 where he hosed up and chose the black car service, where's this $1k you found? The problems with uber have nothing to do with their automated surge pricing, which is really a pretty basic business practice. It's a business not a charity, the point is to make money and charge as much as they can get away with. If anything is really hurting them, it's their lovely reputation with how they treat their drivers or their lovely competitive practices. They should've responded better when they found out that there was a terrorist attack, and pre-emptively refunded the surge, yes. But that doesn't have to do with the automated surge pricing in and of itself.
