For a recent trip to the UK I was going to go with Airbnb but decided on VRBO instead precisely due to this issue. Worked out pretty well in the end.
Unfortunately, Airbnb is way more well known than the other services, so I'm also not sure a negative review is going to do much either. (In fact, I only found out about this because I ran across this thread on FT!) It might need a major travel blogger or other media article/video shedding light on this to trigger real change.
