It’s a phatic expression so it doesn’t really mean much. It’s only there to signal the speaker acknowledges the end of the interaction between them and the hearer, in a non-hostile way.
I’m not sure if the impersonal tone is there to convey social distance between the speaker and the hearer, or if it became like this due to overuse.
Or perhaps language differnces
