I think it's also because it's so rare these days to see people who can just naturally start a friendly conversation with someone they've just met (unless it's about "ooh the weather..." *yawn*). When you see someone actually smiling and speaking eloquently (gasp) a lot of people just don't know how to react.
I'm more used to seeing people working in shops who are smacking their jaws up and down on some gum, grunting at the customers and with a facial expression like they just got told they're being evicted from their flat. We don't have any standards.
Even just waiting in a train station people react weird if you try to talk to them and be friendly. I talk to every stranger I meet and sometimes theyre cool people, sometimes they get defensive cause you must want to bang them if you're saying hi. Having conversations in real life and being friendly in person is a dying art.
