You're right, it's even less. I typed out the following messages and copy/pasted them into 16 different DMs on Discord to see how long it would take just as a reference. The total time of writing, copying, and pasting, took 4 minutes and 13 seconds.

1. "Hi there ________, we at SHL HO have received your application."

2. "Hi there ________, we at SHL HO wanted to inform you that we have decided to move on with other applicants for the position."

3. See below.

4. "Hi there ________, we at SHL want to thank you for your time in applying for this position. Unfortunately we have decided to select another applicant for this position. This was a very competitive process, and we would like to thank you for your time and encourage you to reach out about positions in the future."

The only reason #3 doesn't have anything is because A) If there weren't any interviews at all then that sure saves some time and B) interviews can vary in terms of when people are available and how long they take, but if that becomes such an issue then why can't HO just extend the decision-making process longer than the 48 hours or however long it was?

People will just complain about the messages being a copy paste.
