What drives me batty about thumbs.db is that on a modern high end machine with an nvme drive it’s not meaningfully faster then just regenerating thumbnails on demand every time, and in fact can be slower under some circumstances. Yet there’s no “I don’t need this turn it off” option.
For whatever insane windows-y reason, having a thumbs.db file on a network share is one of those slower scenarios for me. Which is odd because you’d expect that to be the kind of situation where it’s actually useful.
