"I would hope that some rejected applicants, especially those who are rightfully perplexed by the rejection, would question Adcoms’ decisions, if only to keep colleges honest. "

Bay, the colleges have no obligation to say why a student was rejected. Therefore, they wont. And they dont. Ever. Unless the applicant was the offspring of a huge donor or a fifth generation legacy or the son of a trustee or has some other type of very important connection to the college. The college is in the drivers seat in this situation, not the applicant, and certainly not a rejected applicant.
