>> Ghosting people is bad form, too.

So why is it wrong for recruiters to do something that's bad form, but not for someone else to do something that's bad form?

Id say because the recruiter is in a higher position of power. The have full veto power over hundreds of people while you don’t.

Given the number of recruiters I have met that have to deal with candidates that are fielding multiple offers, pinning offers against each other, or doing ghosting of their own I doubt this is true.
