This suffers from the same issue with using a real estate agent to buy / sell a house.
Agents are not financially incentivized to get you the best offer. They are financially incentivized for you to accept any offer, period.
The extra commission on negotiating a higher offer does not justify the time and energy. Additionally, it increases the chances that either party will terminate the negotiation outright.
Agents are not working for you, they are working on closing a deal and in fact the agent and the company they're selling you to have the exact same incentives. Get you in as quickly and as cheaply as possible.
Negotiation is more about soft skills, charisma, information obfuscation, and outright lying than it is about fighting to get what you "deserve."
