Why do they do this?

Why do hiring managers and hr people say they’ll give you an answer by X day and almost never meet this deadline? It only creates expectations and restlessness.

PS: I’m at the final stage of a super long hiring process and the head of people said I’m a finalist and would give my an answer by Thursday (yesterday) or today… Any advice?

That and also when they tell you, they will definitely schedule you for the next interview because they thought you were perfect for the job, and then they give you a rejection email instead
