But you have to do that for every similar service and try and match up records. It would be a nightmare. Landlords would also create different companies/accounts to rent out the max nights per year. It's just not enforceable.

The tax office does this for tens of thousands of companies.
It can easily handle at most a dozen sharing sites. And it's trivial to prevent landlords from registering multiple accounts i.e. make sure no two landlords advertise the same address.
Just like governments demand companies hand over financial information they could demand that AirBnb hands over the list of users and the total stay length.
