I think there is a deeper reason for that. US is an immigrant society with multiple ethnicities. People need to be friendly to establish a common ground of some kind. 92% of Chinese are Han. We share a lot of the same history, language, culture, and ethics. So we don't need the small talk.

From a human nature perspective, people’s behavior tends toward genuine indifference rather than feigned enthusiasm.

Completely agree, generally speaking the English speaking countries tend to develop a highly spontaneous civil culture, it is not just simply fake friendliness or small talk, it is almost a societal test or shibboleth between individuals, your accent and on the spot reactions or knowledge serves as a personality reveal. 😬

I wouldn’t call it fake. It’s just the culture. For people who live there but complain about it, you need to understand that if you choose to live there, you should learn to respect the culture, whether you like it or not.
