>No feedback as to why I failed the test or anything

As a company, you can't really provide feedback on why people failed the test. Hell of a lot of people will get defensive and get into arguments with you that you don't have time for.

I agree however that one should at least tell you you are being rejected instead of ghosting you. That's just bad manners.

I find this to be a bullshit cop-out. You can always ghost them after providing initial feedback if you don't want to engage in arguments.

You can state _facts_ about the source code in a rejection email. It's annoying, you can't say things that would be useful, but there are always facts about source code that can be used for rejection.
You don't have to let them pull you into arguments
