You're essentially agreeing that the point is to lowball the candidate.

  Ya exactly. As the person owning the business, the less you pay your staff the bigger your paycheck. Its direct 1:1 for a private company. As a person being a employee, you want to make the most you can. The goals are directly competing, hence the classic struggle. Always going to be some give and take.

    In practice not every employer is like this and the ones that are tend to engender resentment, shoddy workmanship and a high turnover of skilled employees and a low turnover of useless employees without options. There's value in being explicitly fair and upfront about compensation.
