My personal answer:
It terms of greeting other people, you assume they were all written for
chayim on RH and just need a gmar chatima tova to seal the deal.

In terms of our own requests, we allow that we may have had a bad gzar din,
and want hashem to tear it up and write a new one. Only at neilah is there
no more writing and only sealing.

Kol Tuv,
Liron
