You said it yourself "there's no question these bikes are more fun". People ride for a variety of reasons. I don't own an ebike but I'm tempted because I could ride further or do more laps in a given amount of time.
If you want actual competition, enter a race where there are rules on what you can ride.
And if you show up to a Miata track day in a Ferrari, nobody cares as long as you respect everyone else on track and no one is going to be comparing their lap time to yours. Same goes for ebikes.
