Many companies wont reject you if they aren't sure they wont hire you. They might have several other candidates they like more but until those accept the offer they will keep you in the process.

Exactly. "Maybe" is slower than either "no" or "yes".

If they interview 10 people, and you're ranked second, they don't tell you no until their top choice actually shows up on his/her start date.
