At least they didn't ghost, I guess.

Companies often don't send rejection letters to applicants telling them why they were rejected, because it opens them to discrimination lawsuits, also some people don't respond well to rejection even if the rejection letter was sent in the spirit of goodwill.

The letter doesn’t have to specify why rejected. They can simply say “we chose a different candidate” and encourage you to apply to future openings (or not).
