I get the attraction of ICE, but it's more nostalgia than anything.

Yea that’s true, but handicapping the electric motor didn’t make sense to me. I’d rather just embrace the electric motor for its strengths and flaws alike, I don’t need it to mimic a ICE. I mainly wanted to highlight that no matter the performance, some people will prefer what seems like an inferior setup.
