I like it. I visit classical concerts more than pop ones, but there it definitely isn't automatic, but a light-hearted "artist's choice" response to a genuinely enthusiastic crowd after the approx. 3rd round of applause. Not a given. My favourite is still when the soloist did a jazz encore and the audience swapped from "no applause even between movements" classical mode to "applaud good solos" jazz mode.
I had a classical encore, a student orchestra doing the star wars theme as an encore. That was pretty epic.
At my local symphony the crowd always applause between movements 😭 it doesn't really bother me too much but I do wish they'd make a polite announcement about it or something. But on the other hand I get that they don't want to make things seem stuffy and imposing.
