My point is that airlines would be able to find something else to withhold by default and charge for if you tried to mandate bag fees be displayed up front. A fee for being allowed to recline. A fee for getting to sit behind someone who isn't allowed to recline. The list goes on and on.

However, then you can't argue anymore that "the market" will handle it. Because even the theory behind that requires that market participants are informed - which they evidently aren't.

That's not how it works. You're creating your own definition of what a market is or should be or how it works.
