They are not the problem, in my opinion, but they are also entitled to nothing that I do not choose to give of my own volition. Expecting a response, particularly a polite one, to an unsolicited interaction is on the same level of telling someone that "you'd look better if you smiled."
People are free to be in public but must also be aware of the consequences of their actions. One of those consequences may be that they are brusquely ignored.
If they want to be out in the world, go for it, but don't pretend the people engaging in their own activities are the problem.
