It's a negotiation tactic.
What I found is that extremely high performers will simply ignore posts without salary information. So it only really works if you are looking at hiring average devs.

Additionally if you have that data, it gives you an estimate of the average salaries people are being hired at (if you have a way to get feedback when someone is hired) and that is valuable data for better understanding the market.
