Who cares? Are you handing out medals so that it makes a difference? Do you spit on people who smilingly greet you on trails when they ride past, if they're riding an E-bike?
I was going to suggest you to do a tour in Europe but maybe you shouldn't. You might risk an anger induced aneurysm. We have so far seen hundreds, if not thousands of bicycle tourists while here and a tiny minority were riding other than e-assist bikes. Haven't had a single issue with people riding them either
