Lmao excellent rebuttal good sir, perfectly shows the two sides.

Yes. They're doing this in designated parking areas, where people also park their bikes and the like. These are large zones with plenty of space and clear signage. Next to these zones I'll often see users of the rental e-scooters opt to throw them on the bicycle path or on the pedestrian path instead of walking/driving the last 5 meters to the spot put aside for their rental e-scooters.
Even if there was no space, I'd still complain about this however, since I do not see people do this with their own bikes and it happens to a much lesser extent with rental bikes. For whatever reason the system around rental e-scooters encourages irresponsible handling of the scooter.

Sure. I thought you were advocating for keeping roads as-is, but just for scooters.

Toast sandwich is the same as rock soup. Depression era food.

Remember when we mocked people who mocked Texas for not being able to handle a mild freeze?

I dunno, where I'm at I constantly see people parking them in the middle of sidewalks, bicycle paths or just thrown on the dirt. Yes I see the riders do this.

The issue is your society.

I think we all agree here. The concept though? No. The "concept" in this faulty society is that of a wasteful techbro scam that is rolled out with little oversight, that makes the current public infrastructure unsafe to use for all others. E-scooters have far.more accidents than bikes. They have a lifespan of 9-18 months and then they're trashed. They take up space on what little public area that's left, making cities even less walkable.
Sure in a rational society rollout and implementation of e-scooters would be done in conjunction with public infrastructure and be well-regulated, but this is not a rational society. We can dream up all sorts of scenarios where this could work fine, but the practical ones are faulty, which is why they receive critique.

I am afraid you have scooter-brain :(

This is just the dirtbike discourse from a few days ago all over again. Reposting this thread which I hope helps make some of the scooter-brained users here understand why people are against e-scooter implementation in public infrastructure.
Good urban planning isn't when "you get to go fast on an e-scooter and any impediment to this is bad". There's a reason people are arguing for 15-minute cities instead of ceding roads to scooters and it isnt because they hate fun.
Read up on "Practice Theory". A good entry point is Making Mobilities Matter.

E-scooters have far more accidents than bikes. Rideshare e-scooters have a lifespan of 9-18 months, they are not sustainable. The alternative to an e-scooter is not a car, it is a bike or public transport. E-scooters can work, but as they are implemented in the west they don't, which is why people critique them. Yes we should change our society, this doesn't mean we should hand over the shattered remains of public infrastructure to techbro parasites.

It's a fine enough intermediary solution, but you've just replaced car-centric infrastructure with scooter-centric infrastructure. When people are against cars it's not specifically the "car" part it's the way motorized vehicles make the infrastructure worse for all. Replacing cars with scooters isn't really a good idea.

What you see most other places is that they convert wide roads to large pedestrian crossing and bicycle lanes and then on a longer timespan narrow them down to create small green spaces, resting areas and public utilities like repair stations, kiosks and public toilets.
