You can still provide very honest and valuable feedback when you exit a company, without being a jerk. Not when the people on the receiving end of that feedback are the ones that associate negativity or uncomfortable opinions with "being a jerk." If the company/people you work with don't handle constructive feedback very well, then that's their problem and not yours. The sanitized non-committal vague responses are an evolutionary response to fact American corporate culture generally doesn't handle it well, and can turn it into your problem.
