The problem is that it doesn’t matter what you think, or what I think. What matters is what the bureaucrat in Brussels thinks. The bureaucrat doesn’t care. They are driven everywhere and fly on their private jets.

It’s also illegal to participate in the traffic drunk yet I routinely see drunk people riding bicycles and scooters in regular traffic, often ignoring traffic lights, often with their face glued to a phone. That’s half a problem, the other problem is those same people with those same things on the sidewalk. I bet you, a ton of those people do not even have a driving license and/or understanding of traffic rules. Humans will be humans. First they cry for cycling paths, when they get them, they don’t use them. Cannot win stupid.

As a pedestrian in the city I want scooters and bicycles regulated AND enforced. But nobody cares. I stopped counting how many times I have to do acrobatics to walk around scooters and bicycles left in the middle of the sidewalk.
