During my research phase, I was looking at job posts (in africa) on other sites and hardly any would post salaries. And also in general, most job sites dont show salaries. But a few people have asked for this and it would make sense even if just a few companies would make them available.

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.

Exactly this, not saying I'm a high performer but I have been lucky enough that I can simply ignore jobs that do not come with an upfront discussion of salary range.
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.
