I agree with the authors sentiment, and to some degree yours. We should be flexible, but we should all try to better ourselves and others.
Their post is meant to change norms, basically a, "Hey we really should all understand why nohello.net was created". Oddly enough, the post itself is my version of nohello. I'd prefer that they started with the conclusion and then build from there. [1]
The author is attempting to change norms. I already fixed it with my kid, she asks amazing questions and includes all the right context.
It isn't that they don't agree or disagree, very few "hello'ers" will be able to defend or even explain their position. It isn't about preference or dislike. A blind "Hello" isn't a communication style, it is a faux pas.
It doesn't matter if you are remote or on the next desk over, we should do better with communication. And that includes how to deliver the message that a blind hello is poor form.
