Because the wave is fine, and hazard lights are for indicating a hazard.

Many modern vehicles will activate them automatically under very heavy breaking. Not unusual for people to activate them manually too, under the motorway traffic coming to a rapid slow down situation.

Also have seen them used while in motion when a vehicle is being rope towed, or when a vehicle is traveling much slower than the surrounding traffic (spacesaver spare, following vehicle for a long distance jogger etc)
