It's understandable that some people will lose interest in what you are

What's not understandable -- to me, anyway -- is why they can't seem to
drop a quick note to that effect. Other than serious medical problems
(which did happen with one of my prereaders), I don't really see any
good excuse for not replying at all.

You are right, there's no good excuse, but explanations exist. At least
in some cases, people may be ashamed to admit that they do not want to
read the fic anymore if they feel that they entered a tacit agreement
with the author. People tend to hide from unpleasant things.
