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.
I think you're misunderstanding or exaggerating. I am not suggesting they take hours out of their work day to tell a single interviewee what went wrong. Take 5 minutes and write an email saying "we wanted more in this area of expertise, or you smelled weird, or whatever". I never said or hinted that they should bring you back in for career guidance.

Say you asked a friend to take care of your pet while you were away, and they said they would, and the pet subsequently died because of their poor care, would it be similarly fair for them to say they were just doing you a favour, and you should just be happy for what you got?
