While this is true, it also means they're not someone I want to converse with so it makes it easy to move on to someone more interesting.

Exactly, for a busy celebrity, having a canned answer is a polite way to acknowledge a fan and give them a little thrill. They don't have time for a genuine, heartfelt conversation with everyone they meet.
Indeed. Canned responses are a defense mechanism for being in awkward social situations. Making it more awkward is maybe not a great move.
