I think you might have actually cracked it.I was always pretty sure they were trying to smile gently and not expose the rest of their mouth, like they are attempting to recreate a small, demure smile. You know, cause women don't smile with their cheeks.
I've been trying to find an example of this for awhile. Found one that's suitable

Look at the wide eyes, the disengaged jaw. No teeth whatsoever. It's an attempt to look as unintimidating as possible. Take a look at the pink haired blob on the left. Recreate that smile and look at yourself in the mirror. Thats your AGP smirk.
Anime characters get a pass because there's a level of detail that limits what they can do. Trying to draw an open mouth and teeth on the character on the left would simply look too busy compared to how damn simplified everything else is. But humans smile with their mouths open to some level, just the action of pulling up the corners of the mouth exposes the upper front teeth. So trying to smile with a mouth closed looks incredibly artificial unless the eyes are going along with it.
For example:
"Wow, wtf am I doing here?" "Bitch, don't touch me!" "I'm gonna put rat poison in these two's coffees."
All three are clearly posing for the picture, but the one on the right looks really strained smiling with her mouth closed.
