Homes are sometimes nicer than hotels, better suited for families with children.

An airbnb feels like 'mine'. Whereas a hotel I have no confidence that some overzealous room service won't barge in and try to change the towels while I'm using them!

  If anything hotels have cut back on cleaning now so no one ever goes in. And you can always physically lock the door

  Put a "do not disturb" sign on your door, every hotel room has one. I too don't like it when room service touches my stuff (it is a mess, but it is my mess!) - putting a DND sign on the doorknob and not removing it for the whole stay fixed that problem for me.

  I travel for work approximately 120 nights per year, and have done so since 2011. The number of times room service has barged into my room without my knowledge and/or permission can be counted on 0 fingers. If this has happened to you you may want to reexamine what hotels you stay in because the only thing you have to do to not experience this, even if you forget to hang up the "Do Not Disturb" sign, is lock the deadbolt on your hotel room door.

  Have you ever stayed at a hotel? Because that's not how it works.

  Not an issue since COVID. Most hotels don't do any cleaning during your stay anymore unless you specifically request it or your stay is over a week.

  Don't worry about the cameras they may or may not tell you about then refuse to refund you when you find them.

True, but Airbnb isn't the only option. In the past I simply used local companies that specialize in that. It's extremely common in tourist heavy areas. And you don't have a laundry list of things to do before your checkout like some Airbnb hosts expect you do to. The keyword to google for is "vacation rental".

Or friends. We get AirBnBs for 4-10 friends at a time and it’s a blast. Way better than hotels. Nice to have a proper kitchen and living room to hangout in privately.
