I find it rude when people on the bus put their bag on the empty seat next to them, so that you have to ask them to move it when there are no empty rows left. It’s strangely hostile to me.
I think its just polite to leave your bag off the seat until the bus is boarded.
They don’t want you sitting there. They’re hoping you don’t ask them. Your interpretation that it’s hostile is correct, since it’s antisocial behavior.

The correct response to this is to ask them to move their bag and sit next to them, whilst there are other empty seats next to other people nearby.
Punish their greed.
Or sitting on the edge of the row leaving empty sits blocked.
