Thanks for reply!
I think I can tell the fault-line between serious and humour... at least in most cases. Indeed, what maybe funny for one, is anything but for another.
Take for example the following brief exchange between me and another Host yesterday on a similar post related to photo-ID.
I responded to an Aussie host Rosanna:
Rosanna
Well I decided if I can’t see my potential guests photo till after booking, I’ll take my profile pic off too. Done!!!
- Rosanna still had 2 photos showing: the frontispiece now some exotic fauna, but the latter as highlighted in my response....
Rosanna,
You haven't really done it, because your second photo of a woman, presumably yourself is still visible.
A Guest just has to click on this second photo.
Rosanna: (private message):
Annoying! I only have the app at the moment so didn’t realize!
Ty for letting me know.
Me: You are welcome.
However, I wouldn't encourage this course of action. I certainly have no intention of removing my profile photo.
The point is rather to get Airbnb to reverse their policy.
There has been an enormous backlash by Hosts. Whether it has an effect on the powers that be at Airbnb remains to be seen.
Rosanna didn't reply again. Today I note she removed the 2nd photo, so as of this moment she is just an exotic fauna.

Personally, I can also see both sides of the coin in a website that titles itself Innclusive, based on a single-issue that according to Airbnb Stats is a small-fry issue, and then has a wonderful layout page as Ange copies, but no one seems to book according to Lisa!
