Because such is our culture and if you acted like an American it would be weird. That said I will have a few words of small talk with strangers occasionally when reasonable.
I suspect people might be getting more Russian in the way that they become more self-centered, rude and childish autists. Child-like passive-aggressiveness is certainly common in traffic. Maybe having a more open atmosphere would affect that.
The downside would be fakeness I guess but you wouldn't have to go full American either
