Most drivers would not use the free wheel coasting well. They'd just maintain speed, then brake hard like they are used to.
The one pedal mode would entice them to not use the brake pedal as much and force them to plan ahead to allow deceleration without the brakes.
It is a good thing in general, even if we could use free wheel coasting better.

For education go to people unlike yourself.
