I'm curious why a superhost renting a bunch of properties is "sketchy" while a corporate hotel brand with many properties is to be trusted.

Not sure that "sketchy" is the adjective I'd use. The thing is that a city is not a petri dish for competing business to squeeze as much nutrients from the environment as possible. First and foremost it's a place for humans to live and thrive. That "Residents can only rent out their property for a maximum of 90 nights a year when they are not living there" is an attempt to keep them this way.
