Yup! I've even directly stated this before.
Of course, the only way we'd move up the charts by such a change is if new people come to the site and see "Oh. This other game involves optional/mandatory fees. I'd rather check out this free one." Also, these people would have to outnumber the people who prefer a pay-for-perks scheme because it lets them exchange money they have for time they don't.
I can't twist a player's arm and make them check out my site. But I can ask that the important information is made available up front.
If accurate, honest disclosure of information moves more people to my site (and Armageddon's site, and piles of other free options...), what is bad about that? It's better than the current concealment of that information.
(P.S.: Regarding your KaVir jab, you're aware that the_logos and KaVir agree on this issue, right?)
