It's an interesting point of etiquette and linguistic history.
Many common English greetings originate as questions - how do you do? how are you? and their various dialect derivatives. But typically one does not anticipate an answer. It's often even considered vulgar to reply "fine thank you" or in such manner.

FASCINATING I think you'll agree.

And so they should.
Alright is an expression of enthusiasm, not a greeting.
