Hotels don't have to because there's no route to pay with a stolen credit card and then get that money into an account you use.

I could set up a fake AirBnB, steal credit cards, book my own fake AirBnB, and then run off with the cash. There's no equivalent workflow for hotels.

It's mostly a problem for "platform" style apps that have both ways to send money and ways to withdraw money. Turo and Ebay are probably better comparisons here, and may have similar issues.

Ebay has it easier because they can treat their sellers way worse than Airbnb can treat their hosts.

Paypal is kind of universally reviled over their security measures.
