> Why would you leave a negative review on a product that you didn't receive?

Because Amazon doesn't give you the option to rate the delivery experience separately from the product?

They do now. I get emails asking me to rate the delivery experience.

Is the outcome of these emails publicly available for potential buyers?

If it's an Amazon Marketplace listing, yes, in the form of a seller review. If it's sold and shipped by Amazon, then no.
