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.

Cheap SPD pedals sometimes aren't adjustable, but any decent ones will have set screws for adjusting release tension.
Atop that, there's a difference between the silver and black cleats. The silver ones unclip if you simply pull in any direction except up, while the black ones only unclip by twisting.
Between these two things, they can be adjusted for anyone. From beginners who want their shoes to unclip if they panic, to experienced riders who want to stay clipped in riding the roughest rock gardens.
To say they are universally an "easy-unclip" clipless system is simply untrue, and someone who gets the black cleats will NOT have that experience.
