Well, technically, they may have been speaking the truth.

It's such a common comeback to a thank you that I never gave it a second thought until the "I appreciate you"thread.

The least they could do?
Maybe they were thinking about other ways they could help you (CPR, blood donation, loan you their car, spot you an extra five grand) instead of a small gift.
At least they aren't the type to use a dollar sign and then have the word 'dollars' or 'bucks' after it.
Arby's has a $5 buck lunch? Yes, and at the corporate level in their official tag line, they are fucking stupid.
When I tell someone thank you, I was not ashing if it was a problem or a sure thing...
Grrr!

Would they have been a prick if they said it was the most they could do?

Language changes all the time. Think you're seeing colloquialisms being introduced into written English rather than errors in grammar per se. It may seem wrong or odd initially, but in a generation or two will probably be considered correct by the majority and today's "proper" grammar will eventually seem as archaic as medieval English does to us today.

It's the context.
Getting you nothing is not acceptable to them, so the least they can allow themselves to do is to still get you a gift even when you said no need to get you anything.

It's an acknowledgement . The verbiage is irrelevant .
