Replying to everyone here telling me "duh why would they"- I get that, and really, I'm not surprised.
The problem I have is that a lot of these rejection letters are worded in a very touchy-feely way where they actually write some version of, "if you have any questions don't hesitate to message back!"
That is what bothers me.
Like, if you're not going to answer my questions, just say so upfront.
(side note: I don't just say "why didn't I get the job" - I follow the advice of the countless "how to ask why you didn't get the job" articles out there that tell you to frame it in terms of questions they can safely answer like, "was someone more qualified than me" or "would it have helped if I had more experience with...", etc.)
