Maybe with mopeds it's a bit much, but I've never really got why it annoys people when cyclists do it... doesn't seem to inconvenience, endanger or affect anyone else.

That's not really the point. Using Heroin doesn't endanger anyone else but its still illegal haha.
But anyway, it does when there's high viz warriors blasting down the pavement at road speeds when there are pedestrians trying to walk there safely.
Then they at some point have to rejoin the road so again, endangering other road users as they jump down the curb into traffic after the lights and HTFU, ride faster if you're late.
Its basically just pointless and illegal. Obey the law like everyone elsehas tois supposed to.

And in that vein, moped couriers who get off and push mopeds through pedestrian only areas, through red lights, over ped crossings.
Edit: this one probably would be better in the I Hate thread
