Because it's the basis of the product. You swipe and move on. Professional interactions are and ought to be different.

  Why ought they be different? ATS scans resumes and discards most of them. The whole thing has become just another dark forest

    Parent comment was specifically commenting about recruiters, indicating there was human communication at some point, hence the term 'ghosting'. Anyway it's much the same, since most competent HR software can autosend a 'no thanks' email when the system bulk-rejects applications. Whether or not a person is involved, it's so little effort to send that close-of-conversation email that there's no reason not to. Meanwhile, the point of Tinder is that people choose when and how to engage. They're not the same.

      And the comparison with Tinder also carried the implication that the successful swiping had already taken place that there was human-to-human communication that was happening, but where one party decided to no longer engage. There may be essentially no effort to say that you are no longer interested, but at the same time if you are no longer interested, who cares?
