Most cyclists will be going 15-25mph on those trails, and slowing down is a complete PITA considering how many pedestrians they are passing.
When common courtesy becomes a PITA, someone needs to stop leaving the house. Just like in cars, it's the responsibility of the driver to slow down or stop for pedestrians or any other hazards on the road.
If there are that many pedestrians on a trail, pick a different trail, or a different time, or get off the bike and walk.
That said, I appreciate hearing "on the left" as a warning that someone is coming up behind and going around - especially if I didn't hear them coming.
