It's just a paraphrasing of the automobile-centric nature of American demographic perception. "Normal people" in America have cars, use the traffic lanes, drive everywhere, and you're a weird millennial fitness freak (or socialist NUMTOT) if you don't own an automobile. An E-scooter is more an automobile than a bike, and thus is for "normal people" rather than for cyclists.
