I've actually seen it more the other way - like they ask you what you want, and if you say, then they will be like okay how about 90% of that?
I had one job offer where I absolutely nailed the interview and basically walked out with a verbal offer, and then the founder decided to offer me $10k less than what I asked for. I didn't respond for a week, and then he offered me what I asked for. But because of that, I didn't even respond to the second email, I don't want to work for someone who will screw things up over small points like that. Again, like you say it was just about them trying to screw me over because they felt like they could.

Even in tech where employees are in demand and have much more power that in other sectors, employers are still more powerful. In the other cases discussed, the seller is in the position of power. And they rub their power in the face of the less powerful party because that party was operating on the assumption of equality of power and dared to negotiate.
