Just watched several friends take two+ years to get a job, with FAANG on their resume and over a decade of experience, in the US. You probably have some selection bias.
In the US right now economy, I do agree that it can be a negative signal for employers when quantifying cost but, that outweighs their inherent value of prior vetting done by a major organization. However, if a candidate employee does apply for a role they are more than likely well aware of the possible salary range for the role - pending their states laws around pay range posting requirements. Companies hiring for software developers are mostly already complying with these requirments, as any survey across open roles can tell you.
Were they self selecting by demanding insane salaries in highly competitive locations like silicon valley? Or did they broaden their search and allowed a pay cut or moving?

They were self selecting by not even catching interviews, even after using utilities to reformilate their resumes for ATS.
