I feel old and crotchety now, but Society has changed. The dating world has moved into (or mirrors?) the greater world and there "No answer is an answer" is the law of the land. And why not, seems there's no consequence for bad manners, and maybe no reward for good manners. So good manners are an inefficient liability these days. This is one of the outcomes of massively expanding our spheres of communication (globalization + internet are enablers). What does it mean when you can cheat every customer that comes along and there will always be a new one? Or be rude to every option on (tinder|hinge|bumble) and there will always be another one? or ghost a candidate, and there will always be another one? Also another way to think about it is external recruiters get to coast on the good will of the greater brand (say "Google") and any small damage they do to it is unlikely to be attributed back to the external recruiter. They don't have to buck up and reject you explicitly because they can just let "google" take the nick to their reputation.
