I’ve actually heard that most people don’t. I highly recommend it though because it allows you 2 advantages:
1. Distinguishing yourself amidst a crowd
2. Showcasing empathy and emotional intelligence for addressing that you appreciate their time and authentic interest in the job

RIP grammar paired with lack of sleep
Absolutely do it. You can ask the recruiter to pass the note(s) along or ask for their email address & just explain what it’s for.
I have never done this. I honestly was never taught to and didn't know people even did it. I do think it is a nice gesture though.
I always go out of my way to find their contact whether it's a Linkedin profile or email
I have never done this.
Me neither, not even early in my career
99.9% of prospective Analysts I've interviewed did it. I think it's so commonplace that if you don't, you might give the interviewer the false sense that you're not interested. People are busy and are taking time to interview you, and I consider a basic manner to thank the person for their time and repeat why you're interested, and leave a trace that will differenciate you from others.
I think it's very risky not to do it because most people do it, believe it or not. You don't want to be the one that didn't thank the interviewer.
When I'm applying myself I always do, and sometimes get nice responses which shows appreciation on the other end.
If you don't have their email, ask the HR or recruiter to forward your note. It won't hurt, and will make you look good, because you respect the person's privacy if they didn't share their email.
Every time
All the time
