You're doing essentially the same, but in reverse.

The issue with scooters is twofold - one, tragedy of commons. A morally bankrupt company decides to abuse public space to avoid having to pay costs of arranging parking space for their scooters.

Secondary issue is that the whole business is based on having people dropping these scooters wherever, with no regard to other users of the sidewalk. And people do just that, as incentivized, and then accidents happen - for instance, people with visual impairments trip over them.

(Tertiary issue is that these scooters reach dangerous speeds. Within six months of the deployment there were already scooter-caused fatalities in Poland. Fortunately, my country is about to regulate them as motor vehicles, forcing them to use the roads. As they should.)
