Great, great, now what's a black hole positron, or a black hole muon or black hole tau (and their respective antis)? If they aren't, why not?
Assume electrons are black hole electrons. Why are there so many more of them than positrons?
Assume charged leptons are also black holes. Why are the higher-mass tau and muon so much less stable than the electron, even though (anti-)muons are stable enough that muonium can participate in chemical reactions (there's useful real-world applications for that since the muon's magnetic properties distinguish from atomic hydrogen)? Why is muonium still perfectly fine linear theory (in bound-state QED theory (BSQED) they're just two pointlike leptons) while black hole electron + black hole antimuon almost certainly isn't (even ignoring charge and/or spin as in the most of the wikipedia article)?
Extra credit: why aren't neutral leptons also black holes?
