I think that rather than feeling odd that people aren't honoring all your holy days, be happy that they are at least trying to honor one. We self-absorbed humans are somewhat silly that way.
As I said above, "Still, I understand the impulse to wish someone a good holiday, and I would never think of turning down such good wishes."
The issue comes more into play when fellow Jews who are non-observant are surprised about the existence of Sukkot and other such holidays. An observant friend of mine had to defend his actions to his supervisor once, who was a non-observant Jew. The supervisor was surprised that my friend was working on Chanukah because he had insisted on taking days off for work for something as "minor" as Sukkot.
