I think they do that, especially in white collar jobs, because people can be making significantly more or less than others doing the same job.

It is that way in my field. When I worked, there was no set wage for a position, it was what I could negotiate. The company has a range of wages they work within, if you were a better negotiator and had a little more leverage than someone else you would make more, even if the jobs were identical.

For the original question, it has been like that for as long as I can remember which is far before the WWW existed. I have no idea why.
