A lot of large companies have tiered salary levels that are not in any way tailored for the individual. In Germany, we have a Tarifvertrag in virtually every large company, which fixes the salary.

Salary tables are typical for unionised environments. Majority of software developers and their workplaces are not unionised, even in Europe.

Not really. This is typical in consultancy, where you deal with averages when you create a budget. Extremities would make the bidding risky.
