Perhaps I'm being too broad but I think that rejection emails suck because generally, as a society, we aren't valuing communication or we don't think we can afford the time for actual feedback.
It triggers one of those "how much better would the world be" feelings, if more people took more time to give each other genuine feedback. I mean, maybe giving good feedback (for candidates that took time to apply and clearly made effort) could help people learn, it might even ultimately address unemployment, homelessness, or other root cause problems.
I understand the legal concerns - and there would be candidates who would exploit the process of genuine feedback as well - but I think it would serve to help people more than it would hurt. It does require time and resources, so organizations / institutions would have to look at it as a sort of a social benefit cost or something. But I do wonder how much good it might really do.
