Yes a 3,000 watt hub motor will perform the same if not better. But that is no longer even close to legal. I am trying to make an apples to apples comparison. 😁

The point of this video was to show the difference in HOW the power is used and the importance of utilizing gears.

True. Mid drives are not for all. They are slightly more advanced and require more of a learning curve, but not much. Some people do not prefer to change gears, and that is fine. Personally I like to ride the bike like a traditional bike and find mid drives, when dialed down, offer me a more natural riding experience.

The intent was not to shame anyone who rides hub motors. There are good hub motors out there, you just need to pay a premium for them and at that point I would recommend a mid drive.

Hope this helps and feel free to challenge my views, just keep it civil✌️

Let me clarify a few points i made:
Hub motors don't inherently work spokes loose, however there are so many crappily made hub motors that do not have Quality Control over them and spokes are either not tensioned correctly on them or the wrong spokes are used or a poor lacing pattern is used etc. Sometimes all 3 on one wheel. Buying a higher priced/quality hub motor would presumably fix these issues.

Electric cars don’t use hub motors. However they do use the same single speed type of power transfer from motor to wheel (which is what I was trying to convey)

(All Ebikes are awesome in my book)
