I don't think it's corporate dick-sucking to say that if you use an e-scooter share, it's not dystopian that the company administering them tries to track if you're using them in a negligent way that causes unnecessary wear. It's not yours.
The fact these corporations are running this kind of thing is itself problematic, but I also wouldn't object if a government-administrated e-scooter share tried to detect poor behavior on a piece of equipment you don't own.
