Businesses and strangers don't feel any need to answer, or answer immediately. In the case of job applications, they are sending you a very definite message by NOT responding. They are saying you are not worth replying to... Proper manners would dictate that they at least contact you to say 'sorry but...'
Family and friends do need to reply. That's what family and friends are about; communication.
It is rude to not reply to 'most' e-mails from a friend. Even if it is just a one-word post, you MUST reply. It's bad manners not to. And that's a pretty pushy way to just make a comment they can just as easily see on Facebook WITHOUT forcing them to reply.
