It is not prejudice, it is history. Mopeds hit the street in the late 60s, and 70s. They were clearly and physically marketed as bicycles with pedals. Perhaps you ran out of gas, or just tooling along at 5 to 10 mph and looking at the trees. You could pedal. THESE are mopeds. Anything without pedals are scooters.

ELECTRIC mopeds are back in spades
NO, they are not scooters, they are electric mopeds. You can pedal them with, or without electric assist.
