Maybe last-mile mobility is a problem that requires public-private partnership.
Public communication does not need to bring profits, it needs to serve the citizens. If public communication limits need for parking space, limits traffic jams and polution, that's a win.
A number of cities introduced city-wide bike sharing networks that are paid, but subsidized. Sometimes it was more successful, sometimes less, but at least a few cities proved it can work. They can also work with the public transport card, removing the need for an app.
Maybe the same can be applied to scooters? With the current approach they'll disappear in a few years, as their prices are too high, but having to maintain and charge them daily adds a lot of operational costs.
