I think you're being downvoted because your assumption is wrong. I'm pretty sure you can negotiate a higher total compensation than the advertised salary. Would love to know if that's wrong though!

What would be the point of making companies post salaries if they're not required to adhere to the number posted?

"Anchoring" is a big deal in negotiations. It's useful to make the employer put out the first number.

Wouldn’t conpanies then revise the listed range if a person was hired at a compensation level higher than listed?

Effectively equivalent to x = x + 1
