¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I don't know, I have no good reason it just annoys me. Alternatives that would annoy me less: This Scottish AirBnB comes with a job at a bookstore, or, An AirBnB in Scotland includes running a local bookstore, or, Take a working vacation at this bookstore AirBnB.

I'm with u dude, it's extremely odd phrasing to say that the airbnb "LETS" you run the bookstore when the article makes clear that running the bookstore is a requirement of staying at the airbnb. There's no option described that involves NOT running the bookstore so it seems like an extremely poorly phrased title.

I think it's meant to be parsed more as conveying the sense of opportunity rather than choice. As in "this luxury car lets you experience a comfortable ride."
