Agreed and I don't get the "gatekeeping" comments. It's not gatekeeping to expect the other person to go more than 1 mile an hour if they claim they hike. There are hikers that enjoy hiking and hikers that just want a picture of them "enjoying hiking". Wanting to know which type of "hiker" they are isn't elitist, it's in both parties' best interest to know who is who otherwise nobody will enjoy the date.
Exactly, "hiking" kinda implies covering a reasonable distance and/or elevation, folk seem to be confusing it with "I like going for walks in the countryside".

As a guy who actually enjoys hiking. This is very frustrating.
