I think pedelecs are distinct enough from mopeds to earn the name of e-bike, but throttled variants are a different matter where the line is far less clear.
I’m not sure what that jargon means, but I’ll take your word for it and cut the e-bikers some slack.
I will say some of the older models with less powerful electric engines felt different. The newer models I see look like they go very fast, even uphill. I would not want to get hit by one.
