I think after you have gone through more than 2 interviews with a company, there is "obviously" nothing wrong with a person's cover letter, resume, or first interview. It is extremely useful to get feedback from the prospective employer because in this situation, there is nothing glaringly out of whack.
That said, I understand your position, but I am just saying there is definitely a lack of respect shown by companies in these situations. It takes all of 5 or 10 minutes to summarize why you didn't go with one person over another. And I wouldn't even say it's necessary if you only had was a phone interview, but for a series of sit down interviews, it should be common practice.

Which is why you aren't owed a thing. You are asking them to pay you. They are offering you the opportunity to be hired. If you don't want to go through the process of hiring stay home.
Unless you are applying at a company that does career counseling they are taking time out of what they do that generates revenue to seek candidates for a job. They will hire whoever they feel is the best candidate. Asking them to sit you down and give you a little coaching session is completely unreasonable. You haven't earned that, and it certainly isn't owed. As the poster above said, it's sense of entitlement run amok.
