Which is just a flatly false statement. Disclosing your salary doesn't so much "limit" the potential salary offered as "determine it entirely".

Obviously, you can negotiate yourself back from that horrible starting position --- but devs are such terrible negotiators in general, why on earth would one advocate for anything that makes negotiation harder?
