They should make it mandatory, every user should be forced to answer certain question after their stay or pay a fine - they can pitch it as a 5% discount

Next advancement would be to tax every stay and use it to an agency that would establish rules on “hosts” and regulations on room conditions.

After that, next advancement would be to realize this has existed for 200 years and is called government.

Yeah, sure. After I get the privilege to stay in a soulless, cookie cutter appartment where I have to tiptoe around the neighbors because the lease is illegal and pay essentially the same amount as for a hotel room, I also get threatened with a fine for not working for free for AirBnb?

And all that while possibly recorded by hidden cameras, which are not part of the description and for which AirBnb doesn't really give a fuck, unless there's some bad PR to counter?

I think I stick with hotel rooms.
