That's not what companies think.

And a candidate that thinks of applying to a position knows nothing about the company's willingness to give feedback.

Candidates can learn about hiring processes before applying, like with talking with friends or sites like glassdoor.

How the hiring process functions is a factor in where I choose to apply. For example Google has a bad rep on this - supposedly it frequently takes months for them to make a decision. As a result I'd never consider applying there.
