"I hope one day YC could man up and tell why it was refused rather then giving a "You don't need to get in to create a successful business" bullshit".

It's not a matter of manning up or having respect. Do the math on what it'd take to email 3,000 rejected applicants.

Replies could be generated automatically. Since I presume they are checking applications on computers/tablets they could make checks next to each question. The person reviewing the application could simply check "Not good enough" or "Deal-breaker" next to the answer. It wouldn't be a lot but at least you'd get some idea on what needs improvement, and it wouldn't take much effort on their part. Or am I over-simplifying this?
