In general people with ebikes tend to use them more, there is nothing lazy about that. It just extends the range and time ordinary people can bike.

This is neither supported by statistics nor by personal observation.

What prevents people from biking is mostly weather: cold/hot, rain. Neither are fixed by an ebike.

When it's chilly, an ebike is actually worse. You heat up less and go faster, so more windchill.

People who buy an e-bike more than double their use of bicycle for transport. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S136192092...
