I guess I fall into the "typical AirBnb customer".
I don't like hotels so much. It feels fake and uncomfortable to me. I don't like someone walking into "my" room and tidying it up every day. Or get some fancy magnetic key, and copy&paste furniture*
I feel much more at home at someone's, erm, home. I can cook something for myself. I am pretty much guaranteed a good internet connection. There's usually a washing machine, so I can wash my own clothes instead of paying silly prices per-item, or waiting at a laundrette. The hosts frequently leave some good tips for places nearby. It just feels so much better to me than most hotels.
I'd happily pay more for all of it, but in many cases prices are on par or even cheaper, compared to the size / value I feel I'm getting.
* sure, there are some cool hotels, and I like those too. But those are typically the exception.
