Of course a host which makes money with one or multiple Airbnb flats
won't complain about the business model. But my point was something else:

<https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/aug/31/airbnb-sharing-economy-cities-barcelona-inequality-locals>

Quote:

Landlords have realised they can make more money out of short lets to
well-off Airbnb users than from renting to conventional tenants who live
and work in the city year round, so when contracts come up for renewal
it’s not uncommon to find the rent suddenly shooting up to levels that
young Spaniards can’t pay. Once they’re forced out of the neighbourhood,
the empty flat promptly disappears into what’s still sometimes
euphemistically known as the “sharing economy”, although what happens
next sounds like the antithesis of sharing.
