False dichotomy. You can rent a villa, summer home, or any other non hotel accommodation outside of Airbnb. We used Booking.com for our last holiday, and the same place we rented was listed on Airbnb but more expensive by about a quarter of the price.
Many of these places list on more than one site, the business is the same, the effects are the same
Of course you can, but those are still short term rentals, so I'm not quite sure what your point is. Mine was that short term rentals are good for some people and probably aren't responsible for housing market problems.
