The real reason is that most job descriptions are posted by recruiters, and they don't want you to find the company without going through them. They scrub them of any info that could be used to locate the careers page of the company.
Not really. Googling key phrases frequently lets you find the company anyway.

They don't?
No, they don't of course. Maybe 99% (or more) resumes are full of fake info or included what entire department did. I help our clients to find the right people for positions and this is a daily challenge.

However, it's courteous to work with the person who brought it to you, and I assume it's to your advantage, since they have an incentive to get you past the gatekeepers.

In practice, they don't make it very hard to find out who it is, even if the job is not in the careers site of the employer. However, it's courteous to work with the person who brought it to you, and I assume it's to your advantage, since they have an incentive to get you past the gatekeepers.
Also there is a sense of salesmanship in the ads, and telling you that you'll be grinding out JavaEE isn't what they'd like to highlight, but they'll find some distinguishing features such as 'casual dress', or 'why commute to the city when you can work around the corner' or what not.

Perhaps you chime in to say how you overcome some of our concerns in that post.
Why does Bossbert write the Job Description - because he thinks he knows something.
Why does Catbert edit the Job Description - because if they do not then they have a hard time justifying their value.
Why does not Dilbert write the job description - because a job description that reads 20 pages is a bit much.
I recommend a website called Glassdoor. I used them to avoid a job, I was unemployed, and this company was interested in me. Reading on glassdoor, everyone thought it was the best place to work. Everyone except the IT people. They thought it was just atrocious, and the turn over rate was over 100% in IT. No thanks - I would prefer to remain unemployed verses entering that mess.
Alternatively you can go on linked in, see who works there, hopefully you know someone who knows them, get an introduction, and find the real dirt.
