I actually do agree, and have argued that point for years!
However, most rentals are low powered junk, so being reckless on a rental escooter or ebike isn’t nearly as bad as doing it on a 2000w device. I’ve unfortunately witnessed quite a lot of riders behaving badly with high-powered escooters and ebikes that are too big to be on pedestrian trails.
