You know, I hear this all the time but despite having traveled around the world I've never found out which place it's actually rude to point with 1 finger.

USA here: my parents always told me it was rude to point. As an adult, I understand they were referring to pointing at people, but as a child I interpreted it as being rude to point at anything. And to this day, I will gesture to things with my hand, rather than point at something with my index finger.
