Even when I don't get a position I write a short email thanking the person I met with and detailing what I enjoyed about the experience and inviting them to share some feedback from their perspective but no one ever does. They don't want to waste time with the person they did not choose. They would probably be better off if they did, but I get it, sometimes you have to interview a lot of people and to take the time to give each one feedback if that was the norm would be very time consuming.
There's also a liability risk in giving any reason for not hiring someone, at least in the US. There are so many protected classes of people that it's much safer to give no reasons.
It's all part of living in a low-trust society.
