"Transportation using lightweight vehicles such as bicycles or scooters, especially electric ones that may be borrowed as part of a self-service rental program in which people rent vehicles for short-term use within a town or city.
micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

But that's the catch. You can never get similar conditions in the field, so this device can give you numbers in real-time.
For a rider in a race, this can help them optimize their position as wind speed and direction, as well as drag or terrain changes.
I can personally see many advantages to having this gear available
Quickly, yes. But under controlled conditions, removed from external variables that could have an even greater relevance to the rider.
And all for much too much money for most.
This provides data much like a power meter or heart rate monitor.
Once riders and teams begin to add this extra metric to their training or real-time races, I think they'll have an advantage over riders and teams who don't.
This was my assumption as well. If this is allowed on bikes during races, it is a really valuable tool to allow riders to tune their position continuously for the most efficiency.
