There was an article a few days ago on why you should keep your mouth shut during exit interviews. The same rationale applies for me when rejecting a candidate - some people tend to be angry and volatile when rejected, so the safest thing is to just say "we're going with someone else." I almost never give honest feedback on why.
That said, ghosting a candidate is completely uncalled for.

Unfortunately, it is true that not providing a reason removes that liability. (I guess that's not true in states that don't allow "any or no reason" but I don't know what those states are, if any.)
