I sometimes ask budget as well but only when quoting large projects, and it is to see if we're more or less "on the same page" as the client. A large project takes a long time to quote, and if it's $100k in development work and the client is expecting to spend $1500 and simply doesn't have the budget to realize their project, then there's no sense spending hours figuring out how long something will take to code.
On the other hand, if they have a $100k project but a $50k or $70k budget for i nstance, then we can often talk about features they might not really need and cobble together a deal.
