I know it's anecdata, but to confirm your experience I have had recruiters and hr reps tell me explicitly that either they will not continue without salary information or that the software their company mandated that they use would not allow them to continue with no salary or a $0 salary

"Strange, that kind of restriction must make it very difficult for you to find good talent. OK, how about you enter $999,999. It's an such an obvious placeholder that it won't fall through the cracks and it'll be easy to fix it later."

"Too open-ended? Then how about you just put in the lowest/highest amount YOU'D be willing to accept and we move from there."

lol, that software answer is great. I would offer to write some software for them that treats salary info as optional.
