Every “innovation” in the picture…should never be used…except Uber

It’s the holidays, there are a dozen(+) people in your family, and you want folks to fly in from out of state and have the kids play together in a living room while the adults cook together in a kitchen.

VRBOs are sold out.

Is Airbnb OK, if you respect the neighborhood (as best you can while still doing a short term rental)? If you rent from a family who happens to be out of town and not from a superhost with a hundred homes?

Have you seen AirBnB pricing and some of the policies/fees the owners of properties have implemented? Cheaper to buy a camper.

If there were some way to ensure this was the case, then I agree with you. As soon as you get people treating this as a business, it becomes a problem.
