The limits on ebikes are to prevent battery and motor overheating and catching fire.

And the limits that could be imposed on cars are to prevent people from crashing and killing others and exceeding the speed limit.

I don't see the difference, they're both valid reasons to reduce speed.

It is not an order. You tell it what to do and it responds with: "No". To the benefit of the rest of us who have to live with what you "tell" to machines.

The orders come from humans and the machine is informing you that you are breaking the law.

No they are purely regulatory. Most S pedelects are just pedelecs whose software limit was unlocked.

Absolutely incorrect at least in Australia, they are entirely to manage speed in pedestrian areas.
