That is not necessarily true, I know multiple people who switched to electric bikes.
The first effect for them is that they ride the bike more, because they know when they are exhausted or there are nasty hills they can add more of the motor in. So unless people (like delivery people) ride only with the motor, them using the bike more is already a win.
