Why is wasting applicants’ time so common in job search?

I recently decided to search for jobs on LinkedIn after reading job search related post on r/antiwork. Vast majority of postings contain massive descriptions of what I have to do or have to be for that job, but only 1 of several dozen jobs mentioned pay range. Which is the main reason we look for a job, to make a living. Then you have to apply by filling out forms and send resume… They may ask about my desired compensation initially, but I rarely see employers being upfront about compensation range. Usually one finds out at the end of interviewing. It wouldn't be such a giant waste of time if applicants could filter companies based on pay ranges…
