Default Why so salty?

Why is a lot of the processed food available so salty? Some canned soup
brands, for instance. I really can't see the advantage to the producer.

The overpowering salt taste reduces the need for other more expensive
flavorings?

Hides the less than exquisite taste of the product?

Any guesses?
