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.

That doesn't tell the whole story, yes, long term you don't actually burn more calories long term by exercising, but it's part of an entire way of life that makes you healthier and you will tend to lose fat.

And studies show that riding an ebike means you are more likely to use it and exercise more, which provides a lot of health benefits, including weight loss.
I think you're basically agreeing with the video i shown, yet missed half the point. Losing weight is depend on the input of energy and not the output of energy. As i stated, riding an ebike not gonna help much on losing weight but since OP's choice isn't entirely based on losing weight, i think your point and mine is moot.
I myself is a subject of both side of the argument, i work blue collar and use a lot of energy working, while i didn't exactly change my working habit, i've been stress eating a lot lately, which in return gain some weight. On the other hand, after getting an ebike my riding distance rise from 0 to 50km per week. So yes, i understand your point and both POV is true, but my point still stand, exercise won't help you lose weight, but it will make you healthier.
Edit:
It's also based on how you ride the ebike, the proponents of s-pedelec/class-3 doesn't usually pedal and mostly use throttle, which in the end doesn't get you any exercise at all. When OP mentioned 1000w ebike i first assume they're one of them, that's my mistake.
Your article suggested the same:
I own a class-2 but i pedal most of the time, only throttle when interact with junction/intersection/roundabout
