I think some people these days view being called as rude. They're either young and can't hold a useful conversation, or they want to frame the matter at hand as they want it framed.
Fuck you. We'll frame it cooperatively, fairly, and constructively. As polite adults should do.
I do miss the days of working in a larger organization sometimes. Among the amusing moments was walking down to someone's office to reply to a CYA email that framed an issue in a self-serving manner.
"Did you get my email?"
"That's why I'm here. To respond to it in person."

It's fun to add Slack to the mix also.
