“Fuck whatever you are doing, I want to talk to you right now for not reason at all” is not a very polite message to pass.
If people make themselves uncomfortable just so they can clearly tell you that they do not want to talk to you… it may be because they don’t want to talk to you.
Someone with headphones on does not necessarily mean they wouldn’t want to chat. And a wave doesn’t necessarily mean the waver wants to chat either (I don’t mean waving right next to someone to get their attention)
If I recognize someone, then I’ll ask them how’s it going, either to be polite, or because I genuinely care about them

If someone has headphones on, you can wave, and if they take them off then greet them. If they have no headphones in, you can just greet them
If you are waving at people that clearly aren’t in the mood for empty chatting, it’s certainly because you have something important to say.

I completely agree with you, also with the wave and greet. 🤷♀️
