This is very common in my customer base. Usually somebody will leave and they’ll post the position but have others take on their duties and then after a while just say “we’re dissolving the position” which usually means others are going to take on those duties without additional pay.
Job descriptions don’t change as you get promoted at my company anymore. They just expand as we are all asked to do more with less.

I saw lots of speculation about this even during the tech (and general) hiring boom in 2021

Someone I know who works in HR told me one time that indeed takes job listing off of their company site and post them and that they will have people applying for jobs that have already been filled.
As someone who formerly worked in HR, I can 100% confirm this is true...with a slight twist. Indeed typically scrapes other third party sites like CareerBuilder, Glassdoor but almost always LinkedIn. Not so much actual corporate careers pages. So with the "twist" I mentioned, what happens is the company fills the role and it's removed from their careers page. But, it was scraped from a different third party site so that never gets removed, then they continuously get rescraped from all the different third party sites over and over in a cycle. It's a major, major headache that a lot of companies deal with.

huh, that explains why my old company always had posting for a job that didn't exist (but should have)
we always assume it was because my old boss loved playing head games.

The more dissolved government positions, the better
I’m a little L libertarian and usually agree with this. My customer base is technology departments within k12
The problem is that a server administrator or network coordinator making 40-60k will leave and they will just add that to an underling on that team. If an admin making $120k+ leaves they’ll fill that position post haste.
My angst with it is they’ll replace a top level bureaucrat without skipping a beat but grunts that are actually doing the job and keeping the day to day functions of the district up and running can just be merged into another existing role.
