I was a rockstar at each of my previous employers except the last one, and consider myself lucky to have had the opportunity to quit before being fired. So naturally, during my exit interview I had only positive things to say about the experience but it was by far the most restrictive and toxic workplace I've worked at. How was it toxic? A general lack of respect, or interest, for people's time and ability/talent which was made clear through various policies and the behavior of a few assholes.

It's really the only opportunity since if you had the answers beforehand perhaps the person would not have been "let go".
If your point is that post mortems aren't that great, I agree. It's like debugging a crash dump rather than a live process. But sometimes the core dump is all you have.
