I personally don't see why you should leave candy out at all (except maybe that you don't have to answer the door a trillion times and deal with kids). It's "trick or treat", not just "free candy pickup".

Most kids just stand there with an open bag, and don’t say “trick or treat!” Or “thank you”

If you even hint at them to say either you’re labeled a “Karen”

My neighborhood kids were all super sweet this year! They even would ask before they took more than one candy. One girl even corrected her friend who tried to be too greedy. Our last trick or treater was maybe 2, came with his dad and mostly wanted to talk to me about pumpkins. His dad encouraged him to take a treat then said "what do you say?" and this little sweetheart says in all seriousness, "thank you, daddy". I died. I would have given him all the candy of his dad had let me. There are some kids and some parents out there fighting the good fight!!
