If you want to, you can always ask. You may or may not get information that is helpful. Due to legal concerns, they may be vague in what they say.
Yes no harm in trying to ask especially if there is an HR contact - you may not hear back but worth trying as it will help you in your next interview
Agree with others, doesn't hurt to ask but don't expect much.
When I graduated from college we were still in a bad job market from the 2008 financial crisis and I was looking for jobs at cultural institutions. I applied for lots of jobs and got really close on several. I always asked and rarely got anything useful. But one person let me know that they really wanted to hire me but got argued out of it because of the fact that I provided academic references only. I thought this made sense since I was looking for a job in an industry that I hadn't worked in but had a degree relevant to. It was really the only valuable thing I learned.
The fact is that often it's not anything about you that means you don't get the job. Usually it's about how someone else distinguished themselves from the other candidates. It's really hard to face rejections from interviews but stay strong!
You can ask for it but don't be surprised if you don't get any useful feedback. A lot of organizations have a general rule against dispensing it. It's partly just because they feel they don't owe anything to someone they won't be working with. And, they don't want anything they say to be misconstrued and turned into fodder for a lawsuit.
Yeah...they just not nice with that. Even the recruiters you have been working and they "seemed" nice will just drop you like a pack of hot pans and move on to "next"! 🤣.
No it could be a legal issue if they give a reason why you weren’t hired
It doesn't hurt to ask, but they are unlikely to give you any real answer. Most companies have policies against providing feedback to candidates for liability reasons. Even if they could be completely honest, it is unlikely that the reasons you didn't get the job are within your control anyway. It usually comes down to a specific type of experience.
You can ask, but you may not get a lot of useful information. They might be vague due to legal concerns.

There’s no harm in asking, what’s there to lose?
