Same concept that leads men to tell women they do not know and have no reason to interact with to "smile for me." It's awful, just leave people alone.

Don't force interactions with children 1. that aren't yours 2. you do not have any reason to interact with. Something to think about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_grooming
No one is forcing anything. Lighten up.

What he is doing is a combination of common courtesy and amusing social experiment. He shouldn't have to deal with nonsense like this.
