Their exchange rates are terrible deals and blatantly taking advantage of people who only see the upfront fee and don't think further than that.

Get the feeling they'd have no problem making money with zero fees but that would suddenly make customers think twice about it.

This. Their posted fees mask exchange rates that are horrendous.

Can you open account with US dollars as a currency and transfer money there without any conversions, then withdraw and exchange locally?

Yes, you can, and that’s what most people do.
