Hotels unilaterally ask for ID and a credit card these days.

  It's hard to imagine how a hotel could bilaterally ask you for your ID :-) And in any case, they don't ask you for a Facebook or LinkedIn account to spam you with besides your ID and credit card.

  Some (ok, maybe most) hotels ask for an ID when you check in. But I've never been to a hotel that asked for an ID just to make a reservation. I use booking.com, which is perfect BTW, and they never asked for an ID.

  Yes, the equivalent would be your host asking to see your ID upon arrival. I don't think people have an issue sharing their identity with a single other person. A soulless corporation on the other hand...

  Which is nothing compared to social media accounts and a credit check.

  Yes, but in person. They are not asking you to upload it online... something few people have ever done.
