Many people think e-bikes are rediculous, and you I am sure would tell them why they are wrong in that thinking. It serves a purpose for you. The scooter style serve a purpose for others. I think we should all have the right to have options, and for a lot of people an open frame bicycle or scooter style is a lot more attractive than shooting right to a mobility scooter or driving a 2000 pound car 10 blocks uphill to the corner store. In BC there have been thousands on bike paths for the last 6 years, and in other provinces for 2 or 3 years. If they were really dangerous we would have read about it or heard about it by now. A bicycle can be considered dangerous to someone as well.
