I agree with you.

My parents always gave their bedroom to my dad's parents when they traveled to see us, because it was the only double bed in the house, and my grandparents were older, so they needed a more comfortable bed.

I don't remember what my folks did for sleeping; we didn't have a spare bedroom. Maybe they got the rollaway full-size bed out and slept on it in a nook in the living room.

And my cousin and his girlfriend visited us for a week when he was under treatment for the cancer that we knew would take him from us.

They got our bedroom, so he'd have a door he could close for sleeping at any time of day. We moved a whole bunch of clothes out so they wouldn't have to worry about us, and we slept on our very comfortable queen-size sofa bed (RIP, Castro Convertible sofas!)

But for pretty much anyone else, they can sleep on that sofa bed. We do our best to make it seem a little more private.

However, if I had a spare bedroom with a queen-size bed, I'd never give up my room.

I'd find a bed for the kid somewhere else, even if it was in a rollaway or an air mattress in their room. Hopefully, there's just enough room to fit it.
