As long as that highspeed traffic is segregated, e-scooters are fine. It is when they are mixed with slower moving bicycle traffic in bicycle specific lanes that it becomes a big problem. E-scooters masquerading as e-bikes (read: fat tire bikes like phatfour, etc), and e-bikes with the speed governor removed definitely do not belong in bicycle specific lanes.
Since this study was made by Chalmers, it’s likely referring to E-scooters under Swedish rules, where they will top out at 20 km/h. This is slow enough to be in bike lanes without any problems. It’s even significantly slower than many bicyclists riding in the bike lanes.
