Hoarding takes a certain percentage of scooters out of play. For purposes of discussion let's say it's 20%. You can solve this problem by adding more 25% more scooters. Or you can solve it by adding docks all over the place. But docks cost money to build. And you need them in as many locations as possible; otherwise, your service no longer offers the convenience that is its main selling point. And, like with parking spaces, you can never have 100% utilization of docks. For every scooter, you need multiple spaces in docks. So, I would not take it for granted that docks would actually be the most efficient way to solve this problem.
