I personally think it's kind of dumb to greet the same people that you see every single day first thing in the morning. Do I greet them after lunch? Do I greet them if I run out for a coffee? If I go to the bathroom? What's so special about a longer gap? Seems like a waste of time, I just assume that everyone is glad to see everyone else.
Not doing it has nothing to do with arrogance (not necessarily anyway), assuming motivations in others when one doesn't have their expectations met is a worse thing IMO.
Or maybe I just get it from my autistic kid lol (we've spent years and years just training him to say "Hi" before he launches into a deep conversation with someone who just arrived, social niceties just mean nothing to him).
