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.

Good to think about though. I read somewhere that the compost should be at least 1 cubic meter to have any chance of reaching a high enough temperature; my garden compost is at least that big. But I do still refrain from adding diseased things, or invasive plants.

When I thin my plants it tends to be because I've planted too many seeds at once for example. A lot of the times I separate them instead, but I don't need that many plants to risk separation.
