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?

You have posted about this multiple times in:

r/interviews r/jobhunting r/careerguidance r/jobsearchhacks r/recruitinghell

and you have received advice there. You seem to have trouble waiting for this hiring decision.

Can you take your mind off this and focus on something else? Maybe help someone you know and focus on them?
