Some good points, but the focus seems to be on e-bikes vs. cars. I rarely see any opposition to e-bikes from drivers. The push-back mostly comes from regular cyclists and pedestrians, and those interactions are hardly addressed. Personally, I think putting e-bikes on paths already suffering from contention among cyclists and pedestrians is not something the stewards of those facilities should approve by default. If a particular path can support it, that's great. I wish more did. But I've also seen a bad situation become worse because of e-bikes on trails that were already at or over capacity. "Better than cars" isn't enough.
