Sadly, by pointing out a wrong use of the chat, you risk being the rude person because you don’t value social interactions.
I’ve been tempted to tell the same to my colleagues but refrained because of it.
I mean, that brings back to classic communication/cultural problems. Does one risk being rude one time to fix a situation which is perceived as rude every time?
I've always been overly-accomodating in-person, but I've found it useful to try pushing back (as politely as I can!) every so often. It helps more often than not!
