    Because that’s just how neurotypical brains work.

    Trying to figure out a why for it will just drive you crazy, because it’s not something anyone knows for sure.

      I think it’s more of a cultural thing, you grow up hearing that exchange and a neurotypical brain will just file it under “short, common greetings”.

      People don’t even think about the meaning of the words, they just grab something from the “common greeting replies” drawer without even looking.

      It’s the amount of possible variations after that that make it a huge mess.
