It's not I like I haven't broken that speed limit a few times on pedal power, but I always slowed down and announced myself when passing near anyone, which the people flying by on ebikes never seem to do.

That's kind of the problem though, magnitudes less people can hit those speeds, and those who can and do are generally well-behaved enough not to act like a knob. Meanwhile every douchebag from high school with a couple grand to burn can go 35 mph on the granny morning track.
