Except e-bikes operate in many places that cars do not. Cars being an issue isn’t an excuse for anarchy everywhere else. I’ve seen plenty of people on e-bikes driving 30+ km/h down a public pathway in a park; you won’t see a car anywhere within 300 feet of this but it’s a clear danger to those in the area.
And I’d hardly call a speed limit for a bike a “burden,” and e-bikes have operated in a nebulous zone as mentioned above, they are motor vehicles.
Even if you had to get a plate and follow a speed limit, there are still a million reasons why people should get out of cars and onto bikes (e- or otherwise) to move themselves around.
