There are these mystical things called computers, that are very good at computing things. So when printing the price you can automatically compute it into the labels.

    Nowadays, yes. However, that wasn't always the case. People got used to tax not being included and there has never been a big push to change that.

    Again, they calculated the price at the checkout, so they could also have done it for the price tag. It is not a valid excuse in the slightest. Its only purpose is to obfuscate the actual price of an item and confuse the customer about the actual price of an item.
