Have been, but not anymore. At least here. Now you have to take a photograph when you end a ride to prove that you did it responsible. There are many areas that are marked as slow-speed and many areas that are marked as no-park. The most central parts are entirely no-park with exceptions for dedicated bicycle-parkings. Scooters that are misparked can be confiscated and the company needs to pay a fine to get it back. It took a little while but now it seems to be respected by the vast majority and it has become a decent addition to other public transportation. And I say this as someone who did despise them in the beginning. Lots of other areas to discuss though, such as whether they last long enough to make environmental sense etc.
