What's the disadvantage? I really only see advantages.
So here's an example:
The first message introduces a conversation followed by a follow up. As soon as you send the first message it's easier to send the second one too since you already introduced the conversation.
The other person then answers with a short answer where they don't really have to think about what they write and how they write it. You instantly get an answer.

as opposed to:
The amount of times I’ve had to send this to other developers is infuriating. I’ll wait 5 mins for them to send the part after “hey.” I’m not replying back without an inquiry. I’ve got work to do.
I don't bother responding to 'hey' messages either. Tell me what you need.
I don't really see a problem with that. Also it shouldn't vibrate if you're already in the chat. So that really isn't a problem since you usually see that the other person is typing and usually wait for them to send the message as long as they aren't taking too long.
and I do, because it doubles the amount of notifications I receive. if 5 people ask me something that way, I end up with 10 notifications, half of them being a pointless "hey". it's just plain inconsiderate.
I don't always immediately rush to check my phone when I get notified, not to mention that when the alerts are fired in a rapid sequence like that you often just don't have time to open the conversation before the next alert arrives.
Then you're slow. I almost always have the phone in my pocket
My friends in a group chat sometimes have something to ask me so they be like: 'Hey, Critical_Insight?' - to which I two hours later reply: 'Yeah?' and then maybe an hour later I get the actual question and an hour from that I reply to it. If they instead would've just asked the question in the first message, I then would have answered to in in my first reply, and then be done with it. Maybe it's just me, but I see that as waste of everyones time.
