I have learned a lot about how it's needed, in particular for short growing seasons and to prevent some pests. Still, you would think I'm killing puppies or separating twins.

I am too! I never know when to do it and I am always worried I am doing it too early (even if there are true leaves for example).

Sometimes I am able to be careful enough to move the plants I am thinning to an area where they didn't germinate.
