Usually it would make sense for the operator of a vehicle to be the one liable in case of an accident, not the owner of a vehicle.
I’d imagine that in the case of vehicle sharing it might be difficult for law enforcement to determine who was operating the vehicle if the person in question leaves the scene of the accident. Making the company liable might encourage them to divulge information on who was operating the vehicle at that time.

What’s wrong with a good old fashioned “who was operating a scooter at this location at this time” legal request?
In Norway the operators has to have insurance for each scooter, but the riders are still responsible if they cause any accidents
