Obviously pedestrians have right of way, courteous or not, ironic as it may be.

Damn right they do, wherever they want, with earbuds, kids, dogs whatever.
It’s on me as a cyclist on a shared path to make allowances for them, to expect the unexpected.
Well, I'll assume that's directed to me. .
A reasonable assumption but I actually didn’t write it with you in mind.
My opinion is when you’re out walking, you’re out walking and shouldn’t have to be constantly watching your back.
So what if the cyclist has to slow way down, big fuggin’ deal, pedestrians have right of way, it is my responsibility as a cyclist to accommodate most any dumbfuggery on their part.
I ride a lot, have put in 40 mile days on our local hike/bike paths. I find d$ckhead cyclists thinking they’re Lance Armstrong way more irritating than Karens on the path with kids and dogs.
YMMV
