However, the landscape in four years is TOTALLY different, e-bikes are absolutely everywhere and at every reasonable price point, so it must be super tough to fight it out in this market.

I’ll never ever buy a bike which can only be serviced by the company selling the bike.
As an aside, do check the connection between the motor and the battery in the fork, comes loose easily and causes all sorts of errors.
I can’t imagine when I’m next going to be able to afford a bike, probably in six or seven years, but I too will be going for something more generic.
If it replaces a larger vehicle, that's not that much. That's the big value prop. If you live somewhere with good enough public transit (especially good enough public transit that you can bring a bicycle on), the value prop is low. If you live in a more rural/suburban area where the bike is good enough for many of your trips that would have required a car or would have required a 1hr+ bus ride, it's a great deal.
