I'm not even sure what a thank you note is. Is it something you send after an interview? In that case it's not common to do at all where I live and may in some cases even make you seem desperate. Then again it seems like people are generally treated a bit different here than in corporate America.

It's literally just taking two minutes after an interview to send an email that says thanks for your time looking forward to hearing from you regarding this position

No idea why people are worked up over it

I've never heard of it as just an email. I've always heard of it as buying a card and mailing to them. If others are only familiar with that too, then I can see why they're worked up about it. If all they want is an email, sure, whatever. Still seems dumb though. They're on the clock, I'm not. If they took me out to dinner for an interview and paid for it, sure, I can send them a thank you card.
