Most airports that I have been to (I have never flown into Portland) have separate lanes/areas for taxis, and in some cases the taxi companies have to be registered with the airport. E.g. in Dulles, only “Washington flyer” cabs are allowed. I suspect the Uber and Lyft drivers don’t want to use/aren’t allowed in the taxi lanes, so they end up displacing the friends and family instead.
