Somebody being polite and friendly to you does not mean that the person is inferior to you and that you should therefore despise them.
Likewise somebody being rude and domineering to you does not mean that they are superior to you and should be obeyed and respected.
Politeness is a tool and a lubricant, and Finns probably loose out on a lot of international business and opportunities because of this mentality that you're demonstrating. Look at the Japanese for inspiration, who were an economic miracle, while sharing many positive values with the Finns.
We are also talking about a tool here. I don't want fluff from a tool, I want the thing I'm seeking from the tool, and in this case it's info. Adding fluff just annoys me because it takes more mental power to skip all the irrelevant parts.
