I think it's fair to do if the weather is really bad, storm, heavy rain and wind etc. Like a compliment.

I landed in HORRIBLE snow and wind once. We were landing almost sideways. You can bet your ass everyone clapped for that one

Can the pilots with headsets on behind the locked door hear the claps? It seems pointless to me. Just compliment them on the way off the plane.

Why would sharing a collective sigh of relief be a bad thing even if they can't hear it?

I didn't say it was bad, but that it seems pointless.

Yes. And yes it makes them feel a little better
