Yeah predictability is a definite concern. However, many AirBnBs are more convenient in many ways. My place is accessed by touchscreen code and I let visitors check in whenever they want and usually let them check out late at no charge if requested. 50M internet. Killer kitchen, tons of work space, grill, new hot tub. AirBnB is pushing more hosts toward instant book which will make it easier for business travel. They also prioritize hosts that respond quickly because booking has to be easy to convert, especially for last minute bookings and biz travel. It may not be for you, but many on business don't necessarily look for an experience - they just want amenities and features they have at home. Younger people are generally more excited about AirBnB too so that will drive more growth and adoption as they become the traveling warriors. AirBnB and others need not take huge market share from hotels that cater to business travelers to cause them to hurt. Expenses are on the rise for hotels and changes in the minimum wage and labor laws will have a big impact too. The industry pays very little and demands a lot from their employees.
