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?

I always assume if I don’t get a call by the end of the next day that I didn’t get the job. 90% of jobs I’ve gotten I was signing offer letters within 48 hours then just put through the process as a formality.
