The process outlined in the article shows respect for candidates in many ways, but especially by providing feedback. I have no problem going through an in-depth interview process, because I can always look at it as a learning experience, but it can be very frustrating to go through a process and then not receive feedback, positive or negative, on your performance. I understand that all employers are busy, engineers' time is valuable, and that often communication is managed by HR people who don't have in-depth knowledge of the reasoning behind decision-making, but I think that making constructive feedback an expectation for the hiring process would improve the experience for candidates manifold, and ultimately would result in less arbitrariness in hiring decisions.
