I'm not sure anyone's riding e-bikes on meaningful (90+% aren't) segments.
No issue with people who just forget or don't notice... but the post I responded to certainly makes it sound deliberate. When the guy's KOM was removed, he came right back and rode that segment (and just that segment) again to take it back.
