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.

I don’t see how you can equate a cart going 20 with one going 12, 40% below the speed limit. That’s like equating a car going 70 on an interstate with one going 42. Clearly there is a huge difference in the “hazard” value
