You’re not factoring in soak time and how much it varies from person to person. If you soak for 30-45 minutes, then yes, no salt may be needed. I add a box and a half of salt, but only soak for 15 minutes.

I soak for 30 so I guess that's why I've never felt the need for a bunch of extra salt.

You may be on to something here. I soak for 20-30. Don't use salt (except for what's already in Cajunland). Boil till they float, soak till they sink.
