Didn't used to be that way.
For a long time people in HR understood that if you lowball someone you not only risk losing out on a good prospect, you also negatively effect the person's productivity and also long term stability.
Offer too low and the employee will not be happy and will be more likely to go elsewhere. Waste of effort, company resources, and investment. Bad for the company.

But along comes gen-x business majors totally void of common sense, and they think it's their job to get a "bargain". Idjusts.

There are still some intelligent people involved in the hiring process but they are an endagered species.

I long for the days when common sense and intelligence were more prevalent in business. Get off my lawn.
