That is not at all strawmam. It deals directly with your suggestion of a
rule about treating people the way they want to be treated.  In the
remote chance that you were to encounter royalty would you expect to bow
or curtsy?

 
No.  I'm an American.  We don't bow or curtsey.

Yes you are and you don't bow or curtsy. That is a matter of treating
people as you would have them treat you. The other rule you suggested
would have you bowing or curtsying because that is how they would like
you to treat them.

I think you missed the premise implicit in either rule that you want
to treat other people well.
