Yeah I totally agree with you, looking at the trend of last year, all the decisions were rejections on the last day (20th of Feb 2020), so it does seem pointless and cruel to give applicants that small hope. One guy on the main results page even mentioned that he contacted his POI and they told him that the admissions this year were closed (not sure if it's true or not). I tried to send an email like 6 days ago, but I got no reply.
