Interesting theory but if it was clapping for the protectionist then they'd do it at the end of every movie that was well-projected, not just the movies they thought were great.
I feel it's more a habit carried over from live theater and music performances. They're happy and just instinctively clap even if it's pointless as a gesture towards the production. It just an expression of enjoyment they've developed sitting in a theater.
