Why do pedestrians thank drivers with a wave for stopping at zebra

Probably for the same reasons as drivers thank each other with waves
when one stops as the other has right of way.
I frequently wave at cars that give me plenty room overtaking me,
cars that wait at side roads etc etc.
You may say they are just not 'breaking the law' but to me
politeness costs nothing and any situation where drivers do that extra
little bit of actually acknowledging you exist and treat you as other
traffic deserves my thanks/acknowledgment
It really IS amazing that some people are so consumed with bitterness
and spite that they simply cannot comprehend unforced politeness, isn't it?
Actually, I can't remember ever seeing a cyclist wave.
