Some people struggle with messages and may not want to come off sounding rude to others, therefore decide to say nothing. Some people just are not feeling up to dealing with trades therefore cancel them with no message. Some people cancel without a message if a rule was broken. People are not obligated to leave a message.
I will try to explain to someone why I cancel a trade, but sometimes it's hard and listing off all the broken rules as it might come off as rude. In those cases I just prefer a " thank you for the offer, but I'm not interested". If someone uses a hoard pet to get around a wishlist lock, then I will most likely cancel the trade without a message.
I often look at my trade rules to see what I wrote, or didn't write, that prompted a certain trade. Did I miss something? Was something a bit confusing? Did group names contradict something in my trade rules? Do I have too much written in the trade rules? If my attention span for reading someone's rules is very short, there are people out there that have shorter ones. I try to see things from the other person's perspective and adjust accordingly.
I don't think people should be required to leave a message. If a rule like that is in place, people would just fill it with gibberish if they don't feel like saying anything. Or people will just stop trading, which is what I don't want.

As examples:
"Please follow my trade rules."
"No, but thank you for sending a trade!"
"Not right now, thank you."
"I am saving this pet for a different trade."
"Sorry, this pet is already in another trade."
"This trade doesn't feel fair to me, sorry."
If people are wanting to discus a trade and send it back and forth for edits, they would constantly have to select one of these buttons and that would be pretty annoying.

As Elm said, communication is a two way street. Not communicating back at all actively harms the trading community, is discouraging, and for new players, might drive them away from trading.
I'm pretty sure this is in regards to people blocking others over trades, not sending a trade without a message.
Since this was moved to the suggestion forum, I'm just going to include "no support"
