And yet you have to walk around roads, and parked cars, and around parking lots, and so on. What used to be space for you to walk freely in was decreed, under pressure from car manufacturers, to not belong you anymore. Sidewalks were built after as an amendment, and even in your country not always required. If these laws didn't exist there would be far more space for those scooters and you to coexist. Even without anti-jaywalking laws like those that exist in the US, it's still generally a danger to step off the sidewalk or cross the street outside the designated spot (and even in the designated spot, there's no guarantee you'll be safe).
Yet you complain about the scooter taking less than a square meter of your space and not about the car who has literally rebuilt the city to take hectares away from you, again, by virtue of existing. Not to mention, of course, all the other social and environmental consequences that have been pointed out in this thread.
At least no serious bodily harm will come to you if you decide to step over the scooter (which isn't hard to do), or accidentally bump into it. Hell, it seems they only bother you when they're not being used; a car is a nuisance, and a source of danger, whether it's parked on the street, or moving in transit.
Even our own homes, at least for many of us, having a car is a potential necessity that developers have to account for when building houses and reserve enough space for a garage.
Only added pic in case I'm not being clear enough.
