Sure reducing vans is fine and great but full on replacing them seems not very plausible

No one is proposing "full on replacing them". We can, however, replace a whole LOT of them like they're starting to do in Europe.

Sheesh, is this really the micromobility community? This is such a modest proposal. "Well, we still need cars sometimes!" is exactly the sort of nonsense straw-person you hear all the time that prevents any iota of change from the car dependent status quo.

like they're starting to do in Europe.

so u dont live in europe and presume that u live in the states, so it shouldn't be strange to u that there are parts in the us where the weather isn't forgiving and temps could reach aggressive levels. u can't surmount that heat/and humidity with cargo ebikes/bikes.

I don't think I've ever read a comment that said so much and yet so little at the same time

Ebikes, scooters, longboards: Whatever floats your goat, this is all things micromobility!

"Transportation using lightweight vehicles such as bicycles or scooters, especially electric ones that may be borrowed as part of a self-service rental program in which people rent vehicles for short-term use within a town or city.

micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
