Really, you’re going to quote a comedy website/image? It also even depends on what they mean with “dangerous”. If they mean dangerous for the passengers (which is a viable assumption since how many deaths are caused by hot air balloons excluding the persons traveling with the hot air balloon?) this could even be a true graph. So hold you “offended” feeling and just laugh at the joke at hand.
Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if electric scooters are legitimately more dangerous in urban environments with sane infrastructure. Those things can go absolutely anywhere, and can reach ridiculous speeds while cars are far more restricted in urban spaces (yet again, the ones with good design).

I agree that you are correct. It’s a joke. And it’s about safety of the USER.
However, xkcd is a “brainy” and “technical” web comic. The author assuredly has a rigorous definition for anything like the axes in this comic.
