Getting off and pushing isn't a problem, it's when people who do it are so inconsiderate that they block the entire width of the road stopping everyone behind them from cycling.
The more people you get doing an event the more examples of fuckwittery there are. At some point it crosses my 'i can't be arsed to put up with this' threshold and go somewhere else.
It's one reason I like Audaxes, you rarely ever get more than 50 people on a ride, so you can choose to ride with others, or do the whole mind-numbing spirit-crushing 300km+ on your own occasionally bumping into people at cafes or at the roadside doing the Goretex dance.
