This is just cargo-cult lawyering. Telling a candidate the reason why they failed is standard practice for Facebook, Google, and many startups. I think that it's a good sign of how confident a company is in it's outlook by how they approach interview feedback. Unless that feedback belies discrimination toward a protected class, it poses no legal risk. Conversely, it sours the candidate's impression of the company when a recruiter refuses to give meaningful feedback. People talk. A future customer might be friends with that candidate who failed.
