I'm going to argue the opposite. I have accounts that have a fraction of what large followings do and I would very frequently get Cold Opens that were "hello" and then nothing else, and I would have to drag out of them -- over multiple days -- what they were contacting me about.

The website itself is filled with the usual pompous arrogance, but the core point still stands; if you contact me, on the phone, in a DM, anywhere, it is your responsibility to tell me why you're contacting me. This applies ESPECIALLY if I have no idea who you are.

You are not my friend, we do not know each other, you state who you are and what your business is in the first contact. Otherwise, I am justifiably allowed to assume you're a bot, scammer, and/or an asshole. Stating your business is literally bare-minimum contact policy.
