You can tokenise most of those pieces of the app as separate blockchains. This is what’s happening right now - stuff like - customer support - can just be externalised from the application onto a separate crypto platform that rewards people for providing good support.
That’s a radical example. But piece by piece blockchains can abstract layers out of the application until you only have your own part of the smart contract.
You need to host an app or a website that facilitates that. Same for the Airbnb scenario. You'll quickly find that how that transaction works is a relatively small part of operating the platform. You need search, customer support, reviews, recommendations, marketing, analytics. Paying Visa and friends 3% to process payments isn't where your costs or complexity are.
