The difference is that (some) colleges are also motivated to get you to apply so they can reject you, because it makes them look more exclusive.

Don't some financial service businesses operate on similar principals.

Like Amex Centurion cards? They're definitely exclusive (or fake-exclusive) but I haven't seen them actually advertise rejection rates like colleges sometimes do.
