Yeah, it seems more like they'd all shoot for 45th percentile and say "We pay competitive wages" instead, slowly driving the wages down.

That's what my employer does. The head of our HR team got in front of the entire company and said that they aim for 50th percentile for everyone in every pay band. It instantly made me want to job hop, tempered only by the million things I have going on in my personal life that have a better expected value than a 5 or 10k pay bump.
That's... hilarious. We all know they are thinking that but to say it loudly and proudly to the employees is a self own on a level that makes me Cheshire Cat.
