This is just bizarre. The lack of expectation for anything in return has nothing to do with payment, it has to do with the fact that this is an interview, not a favor done by a friend. If you asked your friend to do you the favor of putting you through a mock interview then you should expect feedback, if you interview for an actual job you should not.
An interview is a business transaction, think of it as a sales call where the product being sold is you.
If you were selling software and went into a sales call and had someone say 'I think we're going to go with something else' would you feel entitled to an explanation?
