“Has always been” is a phrase that indicates that something has been a certain way for a long period of time, often without any change. It is commonly used to describe a state or condition of something that has remained constant throughout history or a specific period of time.

You could grammatically say “It always was my intention.” The “has been” option is definitely grammatical. A primary auxiliary verb consisting of a form of “be” coupled with a past participle indicates the passive voice of the verb specified by the past participle.

Both pairs of sentences state the same basic facts. As you say, "both started in the past and happen now". And when you say "always", it describes a situation that has never been any different up to now. Neither verb tense addresses what might happen in the future though.
