Keep seeing people swap business cards before even saying hello at meetups

I went to a tech mixer in Buckhead last Tuesday and watched three different people shove cards at strangers mid-conversation without even asking what they do. Has anyone else noticed this kills the whole point of actually connecting with someone?

Honestly, that whole "cards before hello" thing drives me nuts. I had a guy at a downtown coffee shop last month hand me his card while I was still pulling out my wallet to pay, no name, no nothing. It's like they think the card does the talking for them, but it just makes you feel like a lead in their CRM instead of a person.
