Statutory rights is exactly what’s needed, e.g:

Banning mandatory arbitration is actually one of the explicitly listed items in Germany.
I think hidden charges are probably prohibited in a separate law, but basically if you see the price that's the price you pay.
Actually, here it is https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/pangv_2022/BJNR492110021.... - Google Translate:
(1) Entrepreneurs who offer goods or services to consumers or who advertise goods or services to consumers by stating prices must state the total prices. [...] (3) If a price is broken down, the total price should be highlighted.
(And that "should" is a "shall")
