Clearly riding an ebike at 15 mph with pedal assist doesn;t use as much energy as doing the same on e 'normal' bike
but so what???
if I go out on my ebike I generally just go faster with the same energy.
Hence I can go further and get to more places - which give me more incentive to go out as there are more route I can do in a reasonable time
If people want to get fit and burn energy then fine - I just want to go out in the fresh air and have an incentive to be active for a few hours a day. I could go for a walk and use the same energy - but I wouldn't go far and couldn;t get to as many places.
Of course I could put the bike (ebike or not) in my petrol powered car and go further - but how is that not cheating?
