You should read up on the history of the MPAA and the movie rating process. Very similar to Apple's, as in vague on purpose. Think of it this way. If they tell you exactly what's wrong, you will fix exactly what's wrong. If they let you figure it out yourself, you may fix exactly what's wrong, or you may fix more than what's wrong. The second option is always going to be better for Apple because it gives the highest…
All of these things can be handled once, together, in a single e-mail. Actually for app reviewing throughput purposes, disqualifying the app on the first major thing they catch is a good idea on Apple's part.
It depends on whether or not the application is resubmitted. If, after the first rejection the developer says "to hell with this" and never comes back then the throughput is increased. However, if the developer subsequently resubmits only to be tripped up on the next item then you've increased the overhead for both the developer and Apple. Each resubmission is more overhead.
just to say it isn't a sensible policy a priori is incorrect I believe.
i like to imagine that in this magical app rejection/approval department at apple, the employees have a whiteboard on the wall and are competing against each other to get the most app rejection tally marks, and one gets special bonus points for each weblog posting found that is made complaining about the rejection.

Did you send them an email, and ask them to be more specific?
