You know, I don’t think you got the right comparison (i do thank the cabin crew), but I think I see your point. I guess it could be seen as clapping at the end of a music performance, I suppose. Not everybody can line up to politely thank the conductor, or the artists, or whatever, so a communal gesture has to be enough. Sure why not.
It’s more like thanking your waiter at the end of dinner.
I’d love to tip people with claps.
Let’s normalize clap tipping.
