Some people probably ignored the comma and assumed he was declaring himself the superlative Alex, a determination one can really only make after emerging victorious in an ultimate trial by combat of all Alexes, which isn't even scheduled to take place until March
"Now, sometimes people don't quite want you to take their love to someone else; they only want you to take their 'regards'. That's all they're sending that day. Regards. That's not as important as love, is it? By the way, do you always give the one the person wants you to give? I don't. I wait until the last minute and then decide which one the other person ought to get.
"For instance, Susan might say to me, 'Give my love to Dave.' Well, I might not feel Dave is deserving of love. Dave might be one of those people who piss me off. I'll whip a few regards on Dave. Keep him in his place. I feel it's MY decision to make. I'm the one who's doing all the goddamn work." -- George Carlin
I treat e-mail as e-mail. No fucking hello, boom shanka, or even the toxically wavery Hi. No, straight into the meat of the problem, only prefix it when an action needs to be specifically directed at someone.
At the end, I report my name and position. Not a gif that takes about 30 times the bandwidth/storage of the transmitted message, and certainly not advertising the company's whatsapp/x/facebook. All of those are a web search away.
I do admit that this makes me sound like a sad and lonely, joyless cunt, drinking lukewarm wine out of the bottle because I've got an effective couple of days off. But that's predominately because this happens to be the case.

Sounds like "some people" can get the fuck over it.

Those other Alex (how the fuck do you pluralize Alex?!?) of which none exceed this Alex? Their opinions are of no concern.

I got talked to about my wallpaper once. It was a picture of Optimus Prime at a podium, celebrating his electoral victory.
I never figured out who dimed on me. Either Beth, Starscream, or Kevin
Nazdro
Definitely Kevin.

Should add a thumbs up emoji to really get them upset.

This exactly. The reply to 'some people' should be,
"it's nice that you have time for this kind of pedantry. "
Yes, especially if it's your boss.

No "kind regards"? Y'know, to have some diversity.

That's the one my line manager uses as his go-to.

Hello,
I hope this comment finds you well.
Yeah, you're probably right, it kinda feels superfluous.
