(ironically, due to the commendable transparency and openness of most EA organisations)
It’s much better (for both prospective employees and the organization) for people not to apply then to apply, spend tons of time interviewing, and then realize the salary is lower than they’re willing to take. So (with some caveats I won’t get into), transparency benefits everyone here.
Short run I agree, but long run it’s not an obvious win if it means 80k, and other similar orgs, never even find out salary is the largest concern (in a hypothetical world that I’m not at all sure exists, but certainly could exist).

As was in fact the issue under discussion.
