No they just see emotions as useless/illogical iirc. They don’t see any logic in emotional reactions so they reject them.
Though the more I think about it the more sense it would make for more Vulcans to do this as it would end a lot of the typical misunderstandings and awkward situations.
I think its worth remembering that most vulcans allow some emotion in interpersonal relationships, especially older vulcans. Spock is just trying to be super duper logical to prove he’s vulcany enough even with his half human heritage (which is ironically an extreme emotional reaction)
Trouble of course is if they feign emotion but are not convincing to their hosts they’ll alienate people even more than if they just act in their natural Vulcan way
Do most Vulcans not do this due to a feeling of superiority?

I’d say they see them as outright dangerous. The reason they avoid them that strongly is not because they are indifferent.

Like Worf trying to be super duper honorable, to the point that many Klingons he meets fall short in his eyes.
Like his son.
You know, I’m starting to think that Worf is a bad father.
