In the US, airline tickets must be advertised with the total price (including taxes, fees, and surcharges) as the most prominent amount. The seller is also allowed to include the price breakdown at their discretion, and almost all travel sites do. https://www.transportation.gov/individuals/aviation-consumer-protection/buying-ticket https://www.transportation.gov/individuals/aviation-consumer... The breakdown is important because it lets consumers consider the impact of tax legislation passed by the government officials they vote for. If you don't care about the breakdown, you don't have to read it. This kind of price transparency would be a consumer-friendly improvement to the app store checkout process. Not only because it lets users see where their money goes, but also because it lets users discern that they could be getting the same product or service elsewhere at a lower price (or be able to support the developer with a greater portion of their purchase amount). Forbidding this disclosure is consumer-hostile because it prevents users from understanding this.
