Yes!

> Also isn't addition of salt often a sign the chef/cook messed up and under-salted a dish?

Being a question of taste, literally, it is a subjective question. IMO you should respect the choice of the chef/cook, and if we are only talking of the "messed up" dishes, then I hope the cook dont mess up that often that is justify to add a salt shaker on the table.

On the other side you have people that add salt to every dish, and this before tasting it, those one are on the dark side!
