ICE cars can use engine braking, and here in Sweden it get focused as part of the driving license and associated training. I recall even getting the recommendation to "exercise" the breaks once in a while in order to assert that they actually do work when you needed, since breaks that don't get used enough can get rust buildup.

Of course, this is also part of driver training in Germany. But the engine braking on EVs makes brakes only necessary for emergency braking if you're not driving like a maniac. With ICE engines you still need the brakes a lot more. Especially downhill.
