Completely agree, that would make the experience more user-friendly for the person looking to rent.

This is an AirBnb platform issue, not necessarily a owner "scam".

Not a trivial engineering problem as the dynamic price based on length of your stay can't be cached easily as base-price-per-night, and I assume caching prices per listing is what makes the map quick to load and responsive, but it'd be a welcome change!

The price is included in Europe because EU asked them to.

When I search the map shows me a price per night for the amount of nights I picked including the corresponding part of the cleaning and service fees.

So it is not an "engineering problem" but a 100% deliberate "dark pattern" choice on AirBNB's part.

This is not a platform issue, it is done on purpose to deceive the customer, especially the less tech- or financially savvy customers. People have been complaining about the cleaning fee ridiculousness forever. Airbnb could and should limit the total allowable cleaning expenses (for type of house, room, location etc., in one word: localization), but they don't do it because it would decrease revenue, not because of technical difficulties, please.

The base price could be cached and then multiplied by the number of nights plus the cleaning fee before the map is rendered. I can't imagine that would be too expensive to calculate on the front end.
