Much like the egalitarian individualism of other western cultures, the idea applies to “our culture” not “the entire world”. This system falls apart otherwise because bad faith participants can easily exploit it. And I’ll add, your argument omitting that key point is one of the common ways people exploit it.
The Declaration of Rights of Man and of the Citizen was unusual at the time specifically because it was _universalist_; it was _not_ just about French people.
Now, granted, they didn't get around to banning slavery until five years after, so, y'know, this was always more an ideal than anything else.
Who else is doing it doesn't change the matter. Charging your guests more then your own? You don't think the morally correct thing is to charge them the same?
name one. I have traveled a lot and can’t say I can name one place where this is a thing. the closest I’ve seen is like tollroads that have different payments methods for residents vs non-residents :)

If it is not right, why every country on earth is doing it?
