Very surprising coming from an attorney, especially one who didn't work for large corporations.
I'm no socialist, as you well know, but I detest scams, bait-and-switches, and intentionally misleading pricing. Those engaging in such business practices are scum, and there needs to be legislation to protect the public from such dishonest behavior. All prcing on all products and services should be straightforward and honest.
You are also in the extreme minority with this opinion. I bet if we took a poll on something like Reddit, there would be greater than 95% in support of legislating away resort fees.
You still can't state their purpose other than to mislead. Customer-blaming attitudes like yours are what allow these companies to get away with shit like this, as the entire goal is to mislead/cheat the customer and make it feel like it was his fault for not researching it enough.
