I don’t understand why companies/people don’t respond. Apply for a job, they talk to you for months and stop suddenly. Go on multiple dates, then the person stops responding. Etc. A simple polite “we’re not moving forward with your application” email is better than silence.

How hard can it be to show some basic decency and courtesy?

To some people, rejection is uncomfortable.

And rejection is noisy and wasteful. And companies can't really be honest in this situation anyway, so it's pointless.

So I like the Hollywood approach: Don't call us, we'll call you.

So far as you say that upfront

The problem as you imply is that no one does this. Every time I've heard about, witnessed, or experienced silence, it is with a promise of contact that never comes. Browsing various job related sites and even Glassdoor (for what little it is worth), you can see many people with these exact complaints.
