Certainly it is a much more serious offense to run a red light in a car than on any kind of bicycle (also electric bicycle, limited to some speed like 15mph or similar).

E-bikes in the US are limited to 28 mph in the highest class but can be deregulated. They're also closer to 75 lbs than 25.
Agree completely on regular bicycles though.

The article points out that, no, running the light on a bicycle is a more serious offence. We can argue about whether it should be.

Regardless of the law, the physical reality of the world says it is more serious to run a red light in a car, due to speed and weight.
