Even so, I'd rather have a considerate guy with a gBike than a jerk on an eBike or mBike. ;-)

I still wouldn't want a gas powered moped on the trails I do appreciate considerate people but driving a gas vehicle on a MUP that isn't for gas vehicles is not considerate even if their behavior while on the vehicle is. Throttled vehicles of any kind do not belong on a pedestrian path. If it were a dirt bike track go for it whatever but if the intent is primarily those using their bodies to move forward then throttled vehicles of any kind should not be there.
