To be fair, AirBnB has the premise of actual sharing, like I let you use my house when I'm away or stay in my guest room that I share with other people or use for myself at other times… AirBnB is also truly peer-to-peer, at least part of the time. In practice, some of AirBnB is like a hotel, but not all.
In contrast, Uber is not like AirBnB. It sets the rates for drivers, requires certain cars, etc. If Uber really was like AirBnB overall, it'd be a different story.
