Airbnb employs dark patterns for their booking process. The daily rate isn't the all-in cost for a booking. You have to open the detail page to get cleaning fees, etc that add up to 30% of the cost. It'd be challenging to get big, successful companies to buck the trend because it's too lucrative. Dark patterns exist for a reason, and it's not for consumer benefit.
