NO, I mean the 100 Lumen Bontrager Ion:

It's a cube about 2.5 cm (1") square.
I have parked my bike with the flasher on and walked right up to it, and it certainly didn't blind me.
Perhaps we are talking about different sorts of 'rail trails' or MUPs?
The ones around my area have road crossings with car/truck traffic at short intervals, and also re-join busy roads so one is driving with car traffic again, sometimes after only a few minutes on the 'rail trail'.
Fear of being run down by a car or truck (or now, a speeding e-motorcycle aka 'e-bike' on a bike path) keeps many people from cycling. If small using daytime flashers helps to avoid accidents, and gets people exercising on bikes, I think that is a good thing.
