No, this is an early access thing that they have been rolling out slowly.

I went to Airbnb.com just now, and got this banner: https://i.imgur.com/zasryfr.png

So it's a new thing.

It includes the cleaning fee and Airbnb service fee, but inexplicably, excludes taxes.

nothing in USA includes taxes in the list price, except airlines.

In general, hotel and rental car sites will let you display whether they do so by default or not.

I would think it matters more with hotels/Airbnbs than many other goods because hotel taxes can vary a lot when you cross city lines

FWIW, before Amazon started collecting taxes on 3rd party seller sales you could sort by total including tax when listing all seller options of a product.

The reason it makes more sense to do it for hotels is that many cities have 15+% or $$/night taxes. The highest rate is 20%.
