We are talking about golf carts on MMPs, and if they are capable of exceeding 20 mph they are considered a LSV, and the owner can be subject to a citation for an unregistered motor vehicle. I have no intention of modifying my cart so that it is ILLEGAL, so somebody is happier speeding down the MMP, nor am I under any obligation to pull over on a MMP when I am going 20 mph to let the other type of BOZO pass. If you can safely pass, go for it, I don't care. But I am under no legal obligation whatsoever to accommodate YOU. In your scenario, I would need to break the law myself in order to not "explicitly contribute".

Nor is the person going 12 MPH obligated to pull over. (or just move as far right as they can, or waive you on after a stop at an intersection)
I agree that you are within the law and within your rights. Sticking to that is contributing to a situation that may one day cause harm to you. I certainly hope that it does not.
Carts don't need to be modified to go over 20 MPH. My 2 (from Golf Cars of the Villages) go 23 and 24 MPH without any modification.
I personally, would just slow down to your 20 MPH, but if someone came up on me while I was going my full speed and was going faster and clearly wanted to pass, I would make it as easy as I could to allow them to pass and then they and their chosen appetite for risk is away from me.
