Many times Hotels are located in areas that are zoned commercial and not residential.

So no, hotels really are not competing with housing the way AirBnb is.

OK, but apartment buildings can be in areas that are zoned commercial too...

(Unless they're zoned exclusively commercial - but I don't know how common that is.)

If locals really cared about affordable housing, they would loosen up those zoning laws because that is the real reason most areas don't have affordable housing, not Airbnb.
