It’s not great that they were this unprofessional, but many (most?) companies will not give you the real reason for passing. You may get “there were better candidates” and it might be true, but it might just have been your expected salary, or your unwillingness to work weekends/long hours, etc.

It's not just that they passed or didn't give a reason, but they gave a clear lie as the reason.

Very true - I've reached the interview stage and been rejected probably a dozen times over my career. The only company which provided detailed feedback on my performance was Facebook. All the others just sent a generic rejection mail.
