Yes, you are missing something. It's nice to take a long bicycle ride, to enjoy the scenery & fresh air without getting all sweaty & achy. Its not about exercise, its about having fun. The electric bikes are great for people who have had knee & hip replacements & people with heart problems who otherwise would not be able to enjoy cycling. And you can always dial back the electric assist if you want a workout.
I get tired of people knocking activities that they know little about. I saw a bumper sticker with a nice bit of philosophy.
