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?

For personal matters, I prefer ghosting (receiving and giving). It's better for everyone in the long run. Just rip the bandaid off. The person has made up their mind, so discussing it just prolongs the inevitable.

For business matters, it's just common courtesy to not leave someone hanging.

But you're not ripping the bandaid off, you're ignoring it and hoping that it will fall off on its own.
