We have had two e-bikes in three years, both were stolen within six months. We even take the battery when leaving the bike (in both cases the theft happened one of the few times we didn't). Obviously the bikes were locked. This happens a lot with expensive regular bikes, too. I have had several bikes stolen while securely locked to an immovable object, like a lamp post.
The article does make a brief callout to 'anti-theft', and yeah, can confirm that this is important, but not sure what the best approach is. Maybe some huge honking alarm, like for cars. Expensive cargo bikes even have GPS tracking on some of them now. Simply locking the bike is unfortunately not enough.
