Why is the onus on the candidate to state what salary they are looking for rather than the company to state what the position will pay?

It's not necessarily. But OP completely shut down any chance of conversation. They could have turned it around on the employer and asked what was budgeted but they didn't.

Having gone through a lot of interviews in the last few months, that's exactly what I did. When I was asked what I was looking for, I just asked if they could share the approved range with me. Out of all of them, only 1 said they couldn't and needed me to give a range first. I think just saying you refuse definitely gives an adversarial vibe where you can typically turn around the question and get the info you want anyway.
