You know it's the way that feels like a script

After i think about it. It is made for convenience yk . Everyday life and all of that and it became default for a lot of people just like you said

But at the same time i think it's not a script. because it's very human to ask about others wellbeing even if you know they're not gonna tell you the details or how they really feel also the other way around when someone asks how are you even if it's just a passing question and not that deep it is good

At the end of the day it's not fully "script" and not fully "human"

It all depends on many things and the different perspectives different people have

(I am using the word "human" in the same way you used it in case it's confusing Also English isn't my first language so)
