あいさつしないひとと対戦する必要あるんですか？

it's up to you. unless you'r in a tournament, you don't 'need to' play against anyone.
my understanding of etiquette is that it's good to greet the other player and wish them well
though from my personal experience, that's not always what happens

Lishogi has a "Kid mode" meant for children that disables all chats and personal messages, they could be using that. It's also possible that your opponents could have chat disabled to prevent harassment. Or maybe they just aren't familiar with the website, or aren't familiar with the etiquette of playing shogi. There's a lot of reasons they might not greet you.
Of course you don't HAVE to play against opponents who don't greet you; you could resign or abandon the game. But I think it's better to give the benefit of the doubt and just play on in any case.
Personally I always greet my opponent, unless we've already played many many games in a row and it doesn't feel necessary.

When I'm playing on the phone, greeting feels too obnoxious. It isn't mandatory, in any case.

Well the problem could be op greeted and then played his move as black and then white nplayed without greetings.

Me perosnal i dont care. I greet automatically with the sentence "have a nice game " and dont use the autmated resonses, but I may have forgotten it for the frist move and then will greet at second or third

Also, it doesn't really matter. Are you really going to get so upset as to abort/abandon your game just because the other player didn't greet you? You aren't royalty or anything.

I don't like greeting when I'm playing on the phone because it's kinda difficult but I always try my best to greet when I'm playing on computer (especially live games)

still I would never abort a game (let alone resign) because another player forgets to greet me

to quote @COArSe_D1RTxxx, you aren't royalty or anything

While this is technically true, it's against the rules to start a game then purposefully abort it for no good reason, and you will get temporarilly banned if you abort too many games in a short amount of time. The opponent not saying “hello” is not a good reason.

You can't post in the forums yet. Play some games!
