an investment property is and should be treated differently than your own living property. I think this is the main point of confusion for most people. Most of these other services that do vacation rentals are usually renting out investment properties or timeshares. Its a huge difference.
Even with this event, I don't think the mixing of these two things is going to stop.
The present "wave of disruption" sweeping the world is based on finding ways to use resources more efficiently by changing social divisions. Even if Airbnb in particular now crashes and burns, there's so much potential savings in the airbnb model that people will continue to sweep away the earlier divisions in some fashion.
