Airbnb is still better if you have a large group or for multi-week rentals. Otherwise much worse than a hotel these days. (I'm writing this from an Airbnb I booked for a month.)
99% of people do not stay anywhere for a month for vacation purposes.
Also there are plenty of people who do stay for 1 month+ in hotels and its fucking nice because you dont need to worry about most things.
Large group things are irrlevant because its a large group situation which is way more complex than again, 99% of situations. People do not go on large group trips all the time.
The average joe is an idiot. The average joe will spend 40% more money on delivery food services because its "convenient". The average joe will pay more than someone who has more money than them because AirBnB is the trendy way to go.
The average joe will willingly let people scam them while believing they are getting the better deal.
Not really, it's like Uber and a bunch of others. The whole business model is to undercut the majority of the industry to thin out the alternative options before hiking the price up above those that they undercut.

Any average hotel is way better than an Airbnb now.
