I'm the only person I know who thinks it's incredibly rude to ask people how they are as a greeting when you don't really want an honest answer. It puts the person being asked on the spot to be disingenuous like everyone expects, or offer information that the greeter really didn't want, and therefore shouldn't have asked for in the first place.
This is how I feel about it as well, but as an autist, I've learned that neurotypical just mean it as a greeting, and nothing more. It doesn't matter what you say, they just want a "hello" in a structured way.
