Weird part about this is that, at least when I onboarded, Airbnb made me do ID verification to make sure I wasn’t a bot or a puppet.

After that, they’ve already made the fees on the stay. Most people won’t be losing 20% or whatever to farm good reviews.

Why would the final and optional review step be the part where they decide to verify if the stranger staying in someone else’s house is a real person.

It sounds like the suspected you're in cahoots with the host. They don't need to verify that you are in cahoots or not for booking, if a host wants to put themselves then whatever, but if the review looks supisiocus they'll delete it.
