I have had to do the termination not that long ago, it’s not that great for the other side either, thanking them for joining and not avoiding the meeting is mot insincere, it would be way more awkward if the employee would be avoiding the meeting
I had someone on my team who we had to let go for not showing up to work, and it took 3 tries to just get him to join the call. For the backstory, he basically didn’t work for ~9 months into the pandemic when we were all working from home. He wasn’t very productive when we’d be in the office, but when WFH, he seemed to only do work when we were on our one on ones, and it got to the point where I had to schedule a 3 hour call every day to motivate him to do work. Eventually he stopped showing up to most of those and was wasn’t getting anything done, and wasn’t fair to everyone else on the team picking up the slack. Sucked for everyone involved.

No one cares that you are politely ruining their life.
I’ve been fired into direct homelessness, and I made that HR cry.
Everyone should do that.
You need to feel that bad.
Otherwise, we will just keep going on with this inhuman system.

So they knew it was coming.
I don’t know if they knew or not
