I have long suspected the only reason was to allow "street legal" golf carts to use those roads, which is a really, really BAD reason on a number of levels.

I agree that is the likely reason for the low speed limit. Its a Villages thing. Some dark, narrow 2-lane country roads in the area have 55 MPH speed limits. Those roads are scary. The Villages is easy-peasy. I drive fairly slowly, more or less at speed limit, but somebody going down a main Villages thoroughfare at 50 MPH or more doesn't phase me a bit.
