For the most part, none of my business how anyone else spends their recreational time or what they choose to commute on, though.
Don't assume someone riding an eMTB isn't fit enough to ride without it. One of my coworkers is a very competitive cyclist (locally, he's in the top 5 road racers), and has an eMTB that he loves. He says he just tends to go a little further than he might otherwise, because it makes the technical areas a little easier to deal with.
This is a really cool e-bike set up for touring:
