Would you like to work at a job you weren't really wanted or would you rather an employer be excited to hire you?   Where do you think you will progress further?   Why should people be forced to not know if they were hired because they were wanted or if their employer was just afraid of a lawsuit?  

Do I think every employer doesn't discriminate?  No of course not....  Everyone has their own taste in employees.    But if I was working I wouldn't want to be saddled with a boss who didn't want me.   There is no place to progress in a job like that..  So why should anyone have to deal with that stuff?  Better to be told they didn't get the job so they can find the best fit. 

Anti-discrimination laws don't force anyone to hire someone they don't want. So none of what you state here is relevant. Even with anti-discrimination laws it is ridiculously difficult to prove that your were discriminated against due to any of the protected reasons, and the burden of proof is on the complainant. In addition to that, someone who hires someone for fear of a lawsuit for this sort of thing is, in fact, discriminating and those they didn't hire would have a case to bring, so they aren't saving themselves from anything.
