If they engage with colleagues and they're cordial that sounds fine to me. My assumption is that they understand the people in the workplace are not friends and family and there's no need to overextend themselves. To be honest, I wish more people at work were like that. There are people I like working with just fine, but I don't need to know the details of their lives.

I would let it go. You never know if they could be neurotypical or just incredibly introverted. Some people struggle with social situations and you don't want to push people past their comfort point, just to get them to fake friendliness.

For me, I'd let them be because from a workplace perspective, not everyone expresses warmth in the same way, and some people simply prefer to keep interactions professional rather than social. If their behavior isn’t disruptive to collaboration or performance, it’s usually best to respect their style and leave it be.
Pro
