I have both, an unassisted road bike and a commuter ebike. Both are a workout and do provide good exercise.
I find I tend to ride at 80-100% on my road bike as I love its speed, but I have trouble slowing down and getting a more balanced, zone 2 workout.
The ebike provides that.
I have an unpowered hybrid and an electric fatbike: I like the ebike but I love my regular bike. The ebike is for when I need to get somewhere relatively close relatively quickly or I’m recovering from a more demanding bike ride.

Plus, they are so much fun.
