Also especially egregious with jazz, where interesting musical improvisations frequency occur "upon taxing to the gate after touch-down", yet are rendered inaudible by premature applause.
I generally make a point of pseudo-obviously holding my own applause until the last note dies completely, intending to set something of a good example. Quite likely no one notices or cares, but it feels good, and I feel it honors both the music and musicians.

This. I cringe every time this happens: "Also especially egregious with jazz, where interesting musical improvisations frequency occur "upon taxing to the gate after touch-down", yet are rendered inaudible by premature applause."
OR, the person who wants to clap loudly at the end of every solo. A lot of the most interesting music is in the transitions from a solo to the ensemble, but who needs to hear that?
