I’d say it would even better if you just put a couple of newlines after “hey” and put your question in the same message. One less notification would be appreciated by your coworkers.

Yeah, I don't have to look over, give a sigh, and then sit there waiting for the message to come through for the next two minutes.

That's the whole point of this. You can say "Hi". Just don't only say "Hi".
"Hi! Do you know about the ..." - perfectly fine. User can directly answer instead of doing message tag.
Edit: Ok, I'm a bit late to the conversation I noticed... :-)

The person you're sending a message to doesn't need to sit there and watch you type out your actual message.
Just put "Hey" at the beginning your message. Don't split your message up into a separate message for "Hey" and a separate message for your real message.

Right. The complaint isn't people including a greeting ("hey", "hi", "hello"). It's only giving the greeting.
"Hi - remind me what time we're meeting" is fine. "Hi" is not :)
But for sure it is annoying when someone sends me a message that says "Hi" and then says nothing else until I respond
