It's not always the act of getting the salvage that matters, it's the fact you have to include that in your calc.
Salvage makes real defence worthwhile, so more real defence is sent/more planets get defended.
It's a delicate balance, trying to get rewards for attack and defence to even out, and it's pretty subjective too. Some people prefer a more attacking style, some more defensive... but I think that most would agree the previous XP formula made attacking too easy, and many would agree that the current salvage values make defence too easy.
We had a pretty comfortable middle zone with lower salvage and the current XP bonuses last time I played (which was r27 iirc).
