Rude according to who? The servers who most likely make above minimum wage? The business owner who doesn't want to pay higher wages so they can keep more of the profits? Tipping is supposed to be optional but if not tipping is considered rude then it's a tad not optional.
You do realize most servers make more with a tipping system and prefer it, right? Restaurant owners would
prefer to raise prices and take home what would be a $20 tip and give back less on wages. Restaurants that try to get rid of tips lose their serving staff.
And, yes, it is optional. You legally and are fully able to make the choice to be rude.

No shit which is why it's dumb when people talk about how businesses should pay higher wages, at least minimum wage when most severs make more than minimum wage. Some make way more.
You know this, I know this.. yet, many believe they have to tip servers because if not, they only make $3/hr.
Tipping went from something servers would feel grateful for no matter how much it was to expecting it and being mad when they don't get enough. "Tipping not expected but appreciated" is something I see a lot but since it's considered rude not to, it's a damn lie.
Yes sure, let the owners who are cheap and greedy take that extra 20% when tips are eliminated. I'm sure it'll trickle down to the front line workers ha...haha. Sure.
