How about ignoring their requests for feedback and doubling down on your own?

You make it sound like the only option is passive acceptance.

Two reasons that make this difficult:

- It is difficult to double down on feedback requests when they stop returning your calls and emails after the generic rejection pablum

- One is hesitant to do the same to them (ignoring their requests)

Fundamentally there is a difference in the power relationship here, in my opinion. A typical company can and is able to afford to treat candidates badly but I don't believe that a typical candidate enjoys a similar luxury.
