No comments to the author but private comments to the editor to reject the paper is a first for me.

The other reviewer just pulled a "you didn't cite me, reject" so this was a memorable low in peer review quality.

did it also sit with them for 3-5 months before deciding without context - because that really makes for review-hell bingo🙃

As it should be! A rejection with zero suggestions for improvement forces the editor to disclose the content or gives the authors nothing that can be done to improve the piece. I've mostly used it for things like "the math is beyond me make sure you have a very good physicist on this one".
