Many Hosts here are on other websites like VRBO and others.
I think VRBO policies are easier, and they offer ‘damage protection’ that a Host can require a guest to buy (e.g., ~ $79 for $3,000 of protection).
Expect a sound scolding!
No, just kidding. No reprimand, but to the extent that your listing is unavailable for any reason (e.g., personal use, repairs, gap days between bookings, vacation, bookings on other sites) your listing is less appealing and will likely be lower in search results.
Many people here believe that it’s risky to place your listing(s) only with one ‘channel’ like Airbnb. Such Hosts would say to find an additional channel suited to your listing. [If you told us more about your listing, location, target market, objectives, others here might advise you on that second channel.]
Long term, I’d think your strategy – if repeat guests are a possibility for your listing – would be to build a clientele of repeat guests so that you are not entirely reliable on one or even two channels like Airbnb.

Good luck!
