Better in every way, obviously, except for weight and stowability, which is what matters most for a last-mile vehicle. You can't really pick up a 50 lb ebike and carry it onto a train, or stash it under the desk at your office, or carry it up the stairs to your apartment.
Ebikes are a car replacement for the suburbs, e-scooters are a walking replacement for the city. They go about the same speed and use the same right of way, but their utility is pretty different.
