Isn't the thevein equivalent of what those nodes are connected to a
short
circuit?


I guess you might say that. What are they "shorted" TO?

In an AC analysis, all _FIXED_ voltage sources are presumed ZERO.

If you stick thevein in then it is clearly shorted to gnd so it must be
equivalent to zero


Only if the voltage source value goes to zero. A Thevenin equivalent
is a voltage in series with a resistor of a value determined by what
you get when you short the source.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
