I guess I’m dense and don’t understand….if it is a “landing” fee…..why would based aircraft be exempt? They are using the same facilities as the transient aircraft.

Well, at Santa Monica, if you don't pay (at the office upon landing), they'll send you a bill. Yes, aircraft based there are exempt. These are landing fees, and not "overnight tiedown fees".
Yes, its quite common for airports to charge a tie down fee (often waived or discounted with a fuel purchase, and usually just for overnighters), but this landing fee thing is just another way to nickle/dime people to death. The businesses and restaurants at those airports should be the ones screaming, since it could mean less transient business for them (after all, many of us fly to some place, for the sole purpose of visiting the airport's restaurants).
