I can't agree.

You miss the point:

Those who currently do work will find it easier.

Those who are on the fence or do little, can do more.

Those who do things like change electric motors will find it far easier
to handle that than to replace a complex piston engine.

Mechanics will have less work to do.

Electric motors are far less difficult to adapt, customize, etc.
