My gears are much more ground by pedestrians on the completely unlit busway path who are dressed in dark clothes with no reflective material than by the ones with a bit of reflective material. Gives me a lot more warning and time to position my feet or my bike to avoid collisions. And that goes quadruple for black dogs scampering around the path in the dark. That said, hiviz on a dog is sometimes a red flag for an owner who values the dog but can't properly control it.

Walking from the station to the office and back trying to get past some people is a challenge - they seem to take up most of the pavement walking whilst swinging their arms really widely!
