What are you on about? The email covered many areas. And the new “requirements” are too extreme from Airbnbs part.

As a host you should be allowed to set house rules, as a guest you should be allowed to choose whether you want to stay in Airbnb A or B or C, it’s up to you. Free market should work for both ends.

I personally don’t ask my guests to do cleaning, BUT I do ask them to sign (during e check in) an agreement (just as literally any and all hotels do when you check in at the front desk) to cover myself from any liabilities or scammers (which are far too many), and to comply with state law on guest registrations, so as per Airbnb I can’t do that anymore?

Edit: grammar

I don’t think checkout instructions are public until you book, no? So you can’t really choose based on that because the info is obfuscated

No, some hosts add house rules or any requirements in their listing descriptions. All should do it, and let the free market decide.
