It does increase the supply of housing though. Housing that would otherwise could/would not be occupied is now available for rent.

What makes you think these properties could and would not be occupied? They often displace long term rental. And short term rental as an AirBnb is not 'housing' in the ordinary sense - nobody makes it their main residence.
