“No time for pleasantries” isn’t a pleasantry. It’s just a statement.

Yeah. Kinda falls in a grey area of colloquialism. I wouldn’t say it comes off as friendly on its own.

It’s more… neutral? Either way…. Didn’t mean to split hairs.

You haven't been in a situation with no time for pleasantries then. I agree as a polite excuse it qualifies. As a statement of fact you should sit down, shut up, and see what you can do to help.
