I agree that transparency is important. All charges known up front.

That said, I think a fundamental problem is that sir travel is too cheap. That's the motivation behind all the nutty fees.

Surely there would be a market for an airline (or a class of seating) where you get a decent seat, with no gimmicks and up-charges? And not for triple the price like business class?

Isn't this just regular seating (of any class) on one of the non-discount airlines?

I fly a couple times a month with Alaska or Delta, economy tickets only, and this is always my experience. No weird fees, price known up front, the seat is fine, etc.
