There is no better way to scare away customers than to provide them with even less control over what is theirs, especially with something as personal as over who rents out their homes. It takes gall and hopefully this encourages more competitors to enter the market - seeing that AirBNB doesn’t have the greatest reputation as it is anyway.
The more you hide information from someone, the more their red flags start going up. Many people are already wary of using AirBNB as a property owner, but now? “You will rent to who we say you rent to and you have little to no say in it even though it’s your own.” No thanks.

They are free to interpose their own conditions, fees, etc. In many places AirBnB renters are openly flouting the law in listing their property in the first place. My sympathies for them not having sufficient platforms on which to do so without companies "gall" in trying to ensure non-discrimination is virtually zero.
