Hotels contract with Expedia. They can choose not to.
Correct, as I said I worked there. However not going through them also closes you off to massive amounts of business. The alternative is that those rooms go empty and nobody stays there costing the hotels massive amounts of money. Some money is better than none.
Then they are making the business decision to accept more business thry Expedia, etc, at the cost of being misrepresented and having to deal with the fallout. Their choice.
That would be the point of the article, yes.
