Bear in mind some of us when doing these kinds of beamshots are often aiming a little higher than normal to show off the lights.
Do as we say, not as we do.
Seeing the road rules, but too much into the other cyclist's face and they
can't.
It's seldom an issue since there are few people in on my route that ride at night. My beams are pointed down and I aim my helmet light away from anybody that I come upon in the MUP I use. However, we aren't supposed to be on the path at that time of night anyway
In a pinch, I can cover the lamps with my hand.
On the road, I really don't care about what the motorists think. If they are flashing their lights at me, they are seeing me
