It's easier to leave people frustrated then help them empathize or adjust their expectations.
I can only explain it by example:
Some people complain that they have a lot of trouble getting a job in the software field. Other people complain about why it's so hard to hire.
The reasons are very difficult to explain, but more importantly: No one wants to know the truth or bring empathy to the discussion!
I've had both struggles. (I've struggled to find a job, and I've struggled to hire.) If I try to explain why it's hard to get a job, from the perspective of someone who's hiring, I make people angry. If I try to explain why it's hard to hire, from the perspective of someone who's looking, I make people angry.
The simple, non-offensive answer, is that both job candidate and hiring company's expectations are unreasonable. More importantly, though, it's easier to leave people frustrated (in their job search or employee search) than to help them adjust their expectations.
