Free market requires perfect information. If airbnb showed the final price, and sorted by it, the situation would improve a lot.

Forcing airbnb to display and sort by final price is the type of regulation that would help.

No. You’ve got it backward. Regulation requires perfect information to get it right. Free markets adjust to new information much quicker than governments.
