Just a guess, but perhaps they're trying to provide some constructive feedback to the company to let them know that the time estimate they're giving to their candidates is potentially way off. (That said, maybe it's not way off for people with more experience, but the candidate doesn't get that.) It's probably futile, but I can understand the urge. If they company doesn't know a problem exists, they can't fix it (if it is an actual problem).
