If you’re the FO and want to take issue you can go on and play with yourself at the curb while waiting the extra few minutes to depart, or Uber and claim an expense. Call the CPO and whine to her, or Pro Stans, I’m sure most captains wouldn’t care.
Just be sure and advise the captain at the start of the trip that you are one of those “really important “ people for whom the world turns.

And as a PS, the OP’s whole point was that he wanted to get to his short layover and the Captain delayed it but keep spouting off nonsense if it suits you, (c)aptain.

I wonder if a better indicator of whether a pilot "says goodbye" is if the pilot enjoys it or not as opposed to a customer service motive or the perceived value of overnight time. Not that the motive matters, but explaining human behavior is usually a little more nuanced. The human brain always tries to rational behavior in order to protect the host from what might be uncomfortable realizations.

Jesus, have any of you heard the phrase "let's not make this job any harder than it needs to be"?

Either way, we are in the same vehicle to the overnight hotel no matter who is the last one to the top of the jetway. And without internet anonymity, 99.9% of you wouldn’t say or really do what you say you would because you’re a decent person who is merely annoyed and not a real bungholio. Others... This whole conversation should have been over on the first page. I think the company needs to change the tie to pink to move everyone’s attention somewhere else.

There will be plenty more opportunities to greet our passengers.
