Because this tool isn't freely providing the data, would be it reasonable to suggest it was posted here purely for lead generation purposes? I could go to https://levels.fyi if I wanted quite detailed compensation data (broken down by job title / years of experience / city, etc).

We could literally keep the the identical title, update the link to levels.fyi, and probably be saying something more factually accurate.

We don't freely share the data up front because we don't have the data up front. The service we provide is getting personalized estimates of how much a given company would hire you specifically for (not just a broad estimate).

Salary estimate websites that use survey data are great tools to use to get a generate ballpark but have their limitations.

Levels.fyi is one of the best if you're looking at FAANG tier companies and is one of the few that actually verifies salary data is correct with W2s or offer letters

Levels.fyi is not verified data.
