I think the correct incentive alignment in this case would be that Airbnb (instead of the customer) takes responsibility for finding and booking an alternative of the same quality, whatever the cost.
That would, in turn, incentivize them to minimize this behavior. And it would alleviate my concerns. Yes, they'll eat the cost occasionally, but they'd arguably still have my business - so they can weigh the benefits of that
