I want to see .DS_Store files anywhere on my mac with the Finder, on the desktop, etc.

DS_Store files are usually hidden from view, but you can enable the hidden files setting and view the files. To enable hidden files, select Go > Computer and then select Macintosh HD to expand the section.
DS_Store files are automatically created by Mac OS X Finder in browsed directories. These files contain information about system configuration. If you upload them along with other files, the files can be misused to obtain information about your computer. For more information, see Apple security updates.
DS_Store files (windows sharing might be a solid reason,) it's best to leave them “as is.” There's no performance benefit in deleting . DS_Store files. They are harmless files that don't usually cause any problems.
Sorry, no. The "feature" was added in macOS 10.12 16A238m. Finder will no longer display .DS_Store files even with com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES set.
If you go to System Preferences and select Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services and enable "New Terminal at Folder" you can open a terminal from the current Finder directory and do a ls -a however to find them.
