The better of the amateurs are as good as professionals.
I’ve been very well-taken care of in AirBnb’s, and I’ve been driven around well in Ubers.

I don’t think their concern is the ceiling of any of those domains, but the floor.

If someone's a bad amateur innkeeper, what's the worst that could happen? Their guests might have a poor experience, or at worst get bedbugs or something (which happens commonly at real hotels a lot these days anyway). At the very worst, their "inn" could burn down, but that's a risk with any building, including whatever home the guests normally live in.
Amateurs flying aircraft have the potential to cause far more havoc than this, or even the havoc that a bad driver could cause.

No smoke alarms is an obvious issue in my experience.
The same kinds of people who speed, watch videos, and do dangerous stunts while they drive are going to speed, watch videos, and do dangerous stunts while they fly.
Uber made everyone an amateur taxi driver. AirBnb made everyone an amateur innkeeper. Now the "tech" industry wants to make everyone an amateur pilot?
No thanks.
