I'm unable to view hidden files in Finder.
Neither “Command” + “Shift” + “.” (period) nor "Terminal" method is working and there is no option in "View options".
Tested on two different macbook's with latest Ventura.
Is this the same for everyone else?
Give this a try: boot into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac and test to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.
NOTE 1: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3 - 5 minutes as it's doing the following;
• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed
• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)
• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically
• Disables user-installed fonts
• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files
NOTE 2: if you have a wireless keyboard with rechargeable batteries connect it with its charging cable before booting into Safe Mode. This makes it act as a wired keyboard as will insure a successful boot into Safe Mode.

Command shift . works for me. Try restarting.
Thank you, restart helped.
But it still doesn't show .DS_Store, which got me confused I think.
Welcome. .DS_Store files will not show.
I don't get DS_Store files either. And not every folder shows the invisible files. 'Tis a puzzlement.
FWIW, .DS_Store files have not been visible since Mojave. They are "super-hidden". :)
Unable to show hidden files
