> People complain about this relentlessly, but never change

What do you mean by this? How would “people change” to get out of resort fees or confusing pricing systems?

I believe they are saying that people fall for the hook pricing and won't go with an alternative that is upfront about their price (because it looks higher). If companies aren't rewarded for doing the "right" thing then why would they do it?

people could stop buying from sellers with confusing pricing systems.

People are capable of change.

"people" as a group need to stop shopping solely on price. Btw, You may look at other factors but as a general rule "people" look at price.
