I don't know about AirBnB. Booking has a little bit of interactivity that is more annoying than helpful¹, like the GP's example for Reddit. None of the others can be described as "applications".
1 - The map is good. The stuff on the map is very good. The map itself is an SPA. For all the rest of the site, if they removed all the Javascript it wold be an improvement.
