Shoulder (road) - Wikipedia
The paved shoulders are also used by the mennonite buggies to allow faster traffic to pass.
I think outside of the 1-2 that are explicitly designated as buggy lanes (not paved shoulders legally at all), the fact that paved (and unpaved) shoulders are helpful to mennonite folks is incidental, not intentional.
Mennonites, like cyclists, would be much safer with designated infrastructure.
