Representing the industry is the problem.
Just because motorized things moving at un bike like speeds for their riders and terrain are physically possible and profitable to sell doesn't make them sane public policy.
When regs for so-called e-bikes actually model typical person on a bike performance, perhaps a meaningful conversation can be had.
But even "class 1" allows moped performance, not representative of what it's typical rider could ever in their life have personally sustained for more than a brief sprint.
