You're talking about a situation where a politician resigns to avoid being impeached or otherwise deposed.
That has basically zero to do with Uber and Lyft leaving Austin. We know exactly what laws Austin has (laws are not secret). And it's not like it's remotely unclear what happened: Uber and Lyft left in protest of the law requiring background checks for them. You could speculate that they were trying to strong-arm Austin into repealing that law, but it didn't work.
But there's zero reason to believe that they were secretly forced out, unlike the case with the politician, where the incentives are obvious.
