This is fair, though the reason we do it is to make sure the other person is okay enough to answer the question or talk about the thing first and if not we would want to help them out or take that into consideration.

Just asking the question feels rude or dismissive if they aren't doing well.

I don't really like seeing caring about others or folks feeling down as a 'problem'.

I think it's condescending to assume people are so unwell that they can't answer a text message without being mothered.

I think its perfectly reasonable to make no assumptions about someone's wellbeing (you are checking the status of their wellbeing, not assuming that they are unwell).
