I think the survey shows we all have our fair share of people who will deny what is proven, just because.
Well, its the traditional phrase for formal greeting. It doesn't say anything bad, and everything else does not really matter.

But I like Habe d'Ehre better anyway. Moreover don't forget that Grias Ihna (=Grüß Sie) is also used quite much and is also formal.
