I think it's largely dependent on how popular the place you're hiking is. For example, Mount Yonah is super popular and I've run into bluetooth speaker people every time I've been there.
Maybe the issue is hiking versus "going on a maintained trail designated for light walkers". When I think of hiking, the word popular doesn't come up, more like, go where no one goes.
We have a ton of hikes that are popular in Georgia. Anywhere with a waterfall and sub 8 miles round trip is usually full of people.
I'm not sure why, but in my head that isn't hiking, that's just walking trails. For me hiking involves going off the beaten path.
Some places don't have an "off the beaten path". We live in a world where population density varies massively, and in the US most of the east Coast has very little uninhabited area, and more people share what little area there is.
I'm mostly with you, I love getting as far from civilization as possible and dry camping, just know that not everyone has easy access to the things you and I like to do
