I'm in Austin and thought I'd give it a try. A 7.5 mile trip was $60

You're doing it wrong. I'm in ATL and on 7/4 I saw some fireworks at a park 5 miles from my place. Due to the time of day/demand, there was surge pricing in effect, meaning that the rate was 2X as much as it would normally be. Even with all that said, it was $20 total. I had a passenger with me so obviously I only paid $10 for myself.

You must have ordered the biggest luxury vehicle they have, and done it at the most peak time of day where it's 3X the cost, and even then it'd still be hard to get to $60.

You suck.
