You burn a bridge

Yeah, that's kind of the point

keep the possibility of coming back sometime open

If I wanted to work there I wouldn't be quitting, especially not just dipping out

Or if your boss actually liked you, you could have gotten a recommendation

Usually people doing this aren't in that situation, being on good terms with someone usually means you don't just vanish on them

instead decided to make their life suck.

The vast majority of times this is, again, the point

You do you, but a little professionalism goes a long way. Maybe that manager moves to another org that you want to apply at, and they reject you because of how you acted the last time. Or maybe they just tell someone at the new org how you left.

Doing this has zero benefits to you, sending an email takes almost zero effort and might have some benefit for you. The rational thing is to send the email.

Good, I don't have to work with them again, win for me

Doing this has zero benefits to you

Catharsis comes to mind, on top of the schadenfreude

sending an email takes almost zero effort

Yeah, and thats part of why not doing it sends a point

If your workers hate working for you so much they won't even send an email then you should evaluate your management and work culture, yakno?
