I guess it’s sort of game theoretical - making you sift through extra words has a lower downside than somebody else in the company thinking I’m being curt and aggressive with them, thus it’s safer to add the ‘corp-politeness’

And then you go to some East Asian countries and even the US-level politeness comes across as rude.
From what I heard, this "corp-politeness" is somewhat of a meme in foreign software developer teams and is often mocked.
