I might be old school but I see nothing wrong with a little politeness, especially if it gets my foot in the door. But then again, I’m not going to continually kiss someone’s ass for what should be a mutually beneficial situation.
It's the idea that everything can go perfectly, but they have one specific secret test they don't tell you about that's also completely irrelevant to the position you're interviewing for.
FWIW I'm jerking my knee at this ritual and interviewed someone who's starting on Monday. I've been on both ends of this and find the rituals exhausting. If I had extra time for frivolous emails, then we wouldn't be hiring!
