You are putting words in my mouth with regards to the term moped. I didn't say anything derogatory about them in my post. I think it's important to differentiate between mountain bikes and mopeds. Tacking an "e-" to the front of MTB is part of the ploy to equate two different activities because those stakeholders don't want to do the heavy lifting of advocating for themselves as the distinct user group they are.
I don't think this ^^ is an unreasonable point of view nor is it unproductive. It just may not line up with what you think, but presumably having a different point of view is okay.
