Default bowing in

Not sure if this is the right category, but couldn't figure out where to put this.

I was wondering what people's experiences are with bowing in.

I was at a seminar where we bowed in at the beginning and then bowed to our partners after each excercise. I remember at the time I thought it took up tons of time and was pretty unnecessary and even interfered with our training, to have to constantly bow. I've also been to some classes where everyone bows a lot but they still treat each other like crap. But I was thinking that most of the other classes I've been to where people didn't seem to act respectfully towards one another, there was no bowing in (or salutations, or anything at all). And I have to wonder if that's a coincidence.
