I suspect the problem is not rejections, but that people don't bother submitting them because it's not exciting.

Has anyone here tried hard to publish a negative result and had it consistently rejected?

Yes, that the researchers don't push to publish them is what is dishonest.

Is it really feasible to publish everything?

And if you do publish everything, then everything will be lost in a sea of noise... you'd need to create "ultra-publishing" to resolve that...
