Why does the use of "you two" meaning you plural speaking to a couple, seem rude?

“You all” or “you both” or “you”or “you guys” seems less icky, like they don’t view you as a couple saying “you two”, like you are up to no good.
You're viewing a single thread.
Try, "the two of you" or "the both of you".
I guess I was trying to frame my question as hearing someone say to a couple “you two” feels like they don’t view them as a couple but as 2 individuals or 2 people not as a couple. Just my feeling.
'You two are a great couple'
What now...
When or if you ever addressed your parents, did you call and say- “How are you two doing?” I would not.
I'd most likely say how are you guys doing, but I would have zero issue with you two. I find nothing offensive about it
"The both of them"
the both of you
Uh, no... just, "both of you".
