Why aren't they binding on the property owner, thus disincentivizing owners from renting out the property?

The process we use to accomplish that is called "zoning law".
Also, you can reasonably assume that boilerplate leases for apartment buildings forbid directly these kinds of short-term rentals. Most boilerplate leases require individual approval by the landlord for any sublessors.
