First of all, I did not like the idea of getting rid of the previous coach that they had. The start of Tuchel certainly has not been as good as people expected it to be. Bayern Munich had a really close call towards the end of the season. They almost lost the Bundesliga title to Dortmund. And that certainly would have been a disaster for Tuchel. I believe if they cannot have a good performance, Tuchel will be sacked eventually. But let's hope for the best. If we talk about the Champions League I don't think Bayern Munich is achieving anything good in that as well.

but we have to remember that Bayern Munich almost lost the bundesliga title and in the end got it again thanks to the help of Tuchel.
It is actually not something I would thank Tuchel for. As a matter of fact, I think Bayern Munich should be able to thank Dortmund for not being able to win the last game. Dortmund had a good chance to win the Bundesliga title, but Dortmund did not manage to do so despite having a clear chance. There has to be a question in my mind as to whether they will be given another chance like that anytime soon.
Nonetheless, I believe that Tuchel will be able to achieve good results with Bayern Munich over the course of time.
As you put it what should anyone thank Tuchel for? Bayern go weaker in almost all aspects ever since Nagelsmann got sacked. I quickly looked it up and found that under Nagelsmann, Bayern lost 3 out 37 games whereas under Tuchel they lost the 4th game after 11 games. Nagelsmann averaged 2.1 points per game whereas Tuchel averaged 1.55 points per game, all games from all competitions taken together. Both the offense and the defense became weaker under Tuchel. Under Nagelsmann Bayern averaged 3 goals per game whereas under Tuchel they averaged 1.8 goals per game. Under Nagelsmann they conceded 0.9 games per goal whereas under Tuchel they conceded 1.5 goals per game.
Source (German)I don't know what Tuchel should be thanked for. This data is so clear cut that nobody should actually come to the conclusion that it was right to fire Nagelsmann based on that data alone. There might have been other reasons, but Tuchel hasn't achieved any improvement or progress at all. He achieved the opposite and almost even lost the Bundesliga title, but Dortmund came to the rescue.
