This is the 3rd or 4th comment I've seen about not reporting to credit card company because AirBnb may ban you.

Are people really so afraid of being banned by a company such as Airbnb that they will just suck up when defrauded?

It's a vacation rental company, and not very good at that. Why are people so afraid of it?

Genuinely curious..

Because they control a huge part of the market, and the cost of accepting the fraud is often lower than the cost of losing access to that part of the market.
