You're correct, it is absolutely your right to do what you want, regardless of how inconsiderate it is.
Personally, when faced with a bright strobe going the other way on the MUP at night, I don't dim my light or point it down like I normally do for oncoming bikes. I find it very difficult to see at night with a strobe flashing in my eyes, so I need all the help I can get from my own light.
If MUP strobe users don't like 1000 lumens shining in their eyes at night, well... "I don't need somebody else telling me how to use my lights".
