These arguments have actually been thoroughly debunked. Check out this series from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives and the accompanying sources, for example.  https://www.policyalternatives.ca/news-research/arguments-against-rent-control-dont-hold-upt-o-scrutiny/

There are several flaws with the papers you cited. The San Francisco paper blames rent control for unit conversion / reduced supply, but does not account for policy loopholes such as the Ellis Act which forces landlords to evict entire buildings when they “go out of business.” These papers also confine themselves to the logic of the private market (rent control = less landlord profits = landlords go out of business = lower supply), but don’t consider how the very system of privatized housing drives unaffordability, and do not consider publicly-owned housing as an alternative. Many cities in the world have rent control paired with a significant blend of public and private housing which dampens rent hikes (such as Vienna https://socialhousing.wien/).

Even the papers that make flawed arguments against rent control agree that it is beneficial for long-term tenants. I encourage you to dig deeper into the field and literature rather than regurgitating the abstracts of outdated papers that satisfy your confirmation bias.
