Bikes are not even half as hard as you think they are.
I sold my bike last summer. I dislike riding bikes now; they hurt my back, and the cycling community is unfriendly (QED). I prefer my VESC board, it’s more fun, and I can do a local grocery run without worrying that someone will steal it, and I’ve made more friends in the community.
I prefer my EV for longer distances, it’s more practical.
For whatever reason, you seem unable to see someone else’s perspectives on this subject. I’m going to chalk it up to inexperience.
Either way, it makes you a poor advocate for your cause.
A glance at this thread would show you I’m right. People’s primary reasons for not switching is not wanting to bike in the rain, winter, and not wanting to be sweaty --all of which products are made to deal with.
Even kids are easily transportable with a small trailer

“i sold my hammer because the hammer community was unfriendly”
It’s a tool first and a culture second. Choosing a tool based on culture is already poor decision making.
I can see their perspective. I think their perspective is simply pure selfishness, desire for a small convenience over the greater overall good.
A bike that hurts your back is likely not a practical commuter upright bike.
Sure, sparky. You betcha.
