The "ban-on-dispute" technique is popular with tech companies. Uber, AirBnB, and Steam (among others) all enforce this strategy.
With Steam, you lose your entire library when banned.
With Uber, you lose the ability to create an account tied to your phone number (i.e. you need to get a new phone number to ever have a new account).
I don't use AirBnB because it is a scam haven, so I can't comment on how their dispute process works.
FWIW, "back in the day" chargebacks used to be done in a manual way which made it harder to automate the banning process that tech companies utilize. But the likes of Stripe and other processors have made it part of their API so you can easily trace the chargeback to the transaction and determine what recourse you have.
