AirBnB is just as corporate and lobbyist bullshit as any other company. Arguably worse, in that AirBNB breaks the laws and then tries to get laws changed.

Hotel chains at least try to lobby to change the laws before breaking the rules.

Also, hotels are regulated in what fees they can tack on, and ensuring a basic standard of cleanliness and safety.
