> people frequently request justification when they're rejected romantically. This is also why people get ghosted while dating nowadays.

I'm not sure I understand this. I'm under the impression that ghosting people while dating is a newish phenomenon. Is requesting justifications a similarly newish thing? If one didn't change, why would the other? It doesn't seem like we've gotten to the root of the matter.

Not sure how you're defining newish. It was routinely used as a storyline in 80s and 90s sitcoms (shows up a lot in Seinfeld, say) and I don't think it was new then.
