There’s no expectation that a hotel provides free rooms.

This is more like a homeless shelter, who’s clientele are not actually homeless, adding a policy of asking for id at door.

Exactly. And then you complain about the id policy saying it was better without that, and then someone tells you: "I don't understand the complaint. You could trivially download some building blueprints from the internet and build your own homeless shelter."

It would be technically a correct statement just like the self-hosting suggestions here.
