Flight crew tend to follow the unwritten rules....aviate, navigate, communicate.
A go around can be a very busy time in the cockpit, between reversing everything they've done to get the plane onto the ground to getting in touch with ATC, etc. so communicating with passengers is the last thing on the list of to-dos at that moment in time...
I've done a bunch of go-rounds, probably about ten (multiple ones on the same flight is a rare one for me but has happened) and it's usually been weather related or because the aircraft in front hasn't vacated the runway in time.
More often than not no reason is ever given but on the times it has it was usually on the taxi in once off the runway.

How can I put this gently....it depends on the route and the demographic of your passengers
