I think this is just "colder" Europeans that can't understand that Americans are usually genuinely happy in those interactions. Like, they aren't being fake or lying to you when they are overly nice and positive. It's just how they actually feel.
I'm neither American nor European but I honestly always felt that Americans are much warmer and genuine than Europeans whenever I visit. But I guess it is harder to see when you are used to be in a colder "rude by default" environment.

Or, if they do actually feel that way... it's inadvertently the "fake it till you make it" where they have done this for so long and so intensely that they've tricked themselves into feeling it. It's likely the origin of some large fraction of mental illnesses.
