I find that surprising.

I've at least read the cover letters of those I'm about to interview, feels rude not to.

I barely even skim the resume. I don't believe there is reliable information on anything that can be prepared in advance. I'm sure I've had false negatives, but in 10+ years of hiring I've never recommended someone be hired who wound up being bad.
