That is why hotels seem a surer bet. They have contractual obligations (especially if you have status)

-100 airbnb credit each year to spend
-priority result in search
-basically a status symbol
I am a superhost on Airbnb from hosting somewhat casually when I travel, I guess when I actually travel myself it makes me a better host, plus the room I offer is basic but priced on the very cheap end. I will tell you that I am willing to not get the top dollar to keep my superhost status. Yes I am THAT shallow and I care about my online status THAT much, just like everyone else who is very very attached to our hotel and airline status.
