No matter how you feel about bikes vs cart vs car, but bike will always loose. I get it every one feels their way is correct, but correct doesn’t mean you will arrive safely. We have plenty of elderly who shouldn’t be driving a cart or car. Vision can be sketchy, you are in their blind spot, or they are just unaware they are actually driving in the cart lane in their car.
I will say if I have to be on MMP path I own the lane means I own the middle of the lane I don’t move over for passing of faster cart. That move puts can put you off the path and in uneven grass. That said I have never had a cart try to pass in median areas, yell at me for being in the way, but then again I bike for exercise, which does not involve slow pace. I do however appreciate the cart that passes, yells out the speed, and a good job thumbs up.

Correct on ‘elderly that shouldn’t be driving a cart or car’...
There is nothing more sobering than staring down a vision impaired, hearing impaired octogenarian raging down an MMP with reckless abandon. Only thing close to it is attempting to exit on to Route 1 in Saugus MA (my Boston contingent on here can vouch for that comparison )!
