They said they're trying to help catch the perpetrator right? In my eyes that's all they really can do and the only thing that matters. The damages are primarily the girl's responsibility but the criminal is partially Airbnb's fault.

It's cheap, considerate and probably much more effective than a simple "sorry" press release. And it has nothing, nothing to do with legal responsibility/liability at this point. When someone is distressed enough to ask specifically for my help, it's the kind of things I'd eagerly do, whether it's my fault or not.
I'm almost absolutely certain Airbnb would have asked the question "How can we make this right?" Anyone would ask that question.
What I suspect is that the girl was not able to answer that question when Airbnb asked it and thus doesn't know what she needs to fix this situation. So naturally she needs an outlet and so she blogged about it.
Totally irrelevant. This has obviously gone beyond "technical liability".
