Because AirBnB has no control over the blacklist. He doesn't really mention whether the original contract allowed him to sublet though.
If it did, then his issue should be with: the owner suing him and the companies linking his case to the blacklist. AirBnB could help him out with place to stay, court costs, etc. - but you can't expect them to "just fix" it. They've got the guarantee and as far as I know, he got the money to compensate for the incident itself.
If it didn't, then... the blacklist works. I don't approve of how it works, but these are the current rules. Effectively the party is irrelevant - he's on the blacklist for breaking the subletting rules.
