The thing that really crystallises how spoilt we are is: https://nohello.club/

We take ourselves so seriously we cannot afford the time for someone to be polite!

Even the website itself states this pretty much on top:

> Do still be polite, and feel free to have social conversations!

Given that, I don't really see what's impolite about it, especially in an async conversations, where the other person is not expected to be on their feet, waiting for incoming messages.

Don’t mix up engineer culture with being spolied. Engineers will find ways to trade social boilerplate for efficiency whether they get paid 500k or nothing at all.
