Stupid question (probably), but is zapping just clicking the lightning icon and sending some sats? My perception was it was a one click operation, however at a minimum I always get asked how much with Alby. I am not seeing how to make it truly one click (like a like) with a default amount.

One click wont exists until you have a wallet integrated directly into a nostr client. It is possible, but for now they are two separate entities and your wallet is always going to want to confirm the invoice for security reasons. Even if 1-click can exist I don’t know if it should without A LOT of safeguards
OK. So, my understanding of zaps is accurate? Whats the difference in clicking the lightning bolt vs tipping from the profile? Does the bolt icon amount get recorded by relays and used to show how much sats it has received? Could it be ranked based on popularity of sats?
I have not read the NIP in detail, but the receiving wallet does actually post a sort of “read receipt” event that it got zaps. These could be aggregated by a relay for sorting (right now it just displays on the post).
I haven’t read enough about the NIP to understand how the zap gets communicated to the wallet - if that somehow happens in the lightning transaction or if the sending nostr client is also publishing a send event that the receiving wallet has to look for.
So definitely more going on than a standard tip, but I can’t say I fully understand it yet
I don't see why this would be much of an issue (in theory). User sets the amount and limits in the client and make it single click.
The LN wallet would really need to be interoperable and be able to trust that the client isn’t sending bogus invoices to extract sats from its user. I bet someone can and will figure out a way to do it. Would be much better UI!
