Look at some of the offensive guest actions against hosts, for example the recent party and shooting of youth in Philadelphia. Where does the responsibility lay.
Airbnb is designed for short term rentals, not long term stays. This has been well noted on this site.
Airbnb is a marketing platform for 1 million plus small businesses who are as unique as their guests.
It is the guests responsibility to vet the listing by reading everything, asking questions and feeling comfortable, and it's the hosts responsibility to vet the guests, each before confirming a booking.
Absentee landlords, be cautious. Lots of us (either personally or through a Co-host) meet and greet every guest, no matter what and live their lives around satisfying guests. Please do not lump all hosts as being remote.
With regards to the review system, guests are rated on 3 items....Hosts 7. So, really, you are correct, it is not fair.
Airbnb is a middleman marketer, no more than that.
I could say more, but, I will not.
I hope that you see the other side. Rather than complaining, may I respectfully suggest that you become a host for a year or so. Even if just a private shared room.
I truly believe that at the end, your perpective will be very different.
All the best going forward.
