I've heard it explained that "hey" used to be more of an urgent way to get someone's attention, rather than a casual "hello" like it is now, so it sounded rude to some older folks.

A few years ago a very boomer gen-xer tried this on me and got very enraged when I would say "hey" instead of "hello {his name}". At one point even threatened me.
“Greetings, sir!”
What, no salutations? So rude!
I like to mix it up with a 'howdy' too. Kind of a throwback 'hey'.
