Nobody is asking you to write a 20 minute email with careful feedback.

A templated rejection email sent from whatever tool you're using to manage resumes/interviews is fine.

"Dear applicant, we have decided not to move forward with your application. Thank you for your time. We appreciate your interest and wish you the best" is far better than getting ghosted.

Aren't most using a SaaS to manage the process? In addition don't most have job criteria they are ranking against. You could give good feedback with just the data in the DB in 5 minutes using a template and stock answers. This assumes a well organised fair process of course. An internal or external recruiter could deliver the news.
