Expecting an acknowledgement back is normal right? Why can't they say that you're not selected because of X or Y instead of ghosting? Seems like basic communication

From small firm to MNC all the HR always does that. Why can't they send an automated rejection email to everyone rejected. We now have AI to create rejection emails. This will also increase the brand name too I believe.
