Precisely what inconvenience does it actually cause those businesses?

Your personal info becomes public because it's attached to the business information. This can include phone numbers, emails, full names, home addresses etc. All accessible online by anyone, including spammers, scammers, swatters etc.

Yes... if you want to do business with people, then those people want to know who they do business with.

What a fucking tragedy.

I'm sorry you have to live in such a socialist hellscape.

Well, the problem is all the bad actors. Why don't you post your full name, home address, email address, and phone number right here? You "do business" too, right?

Should everyone in the world then be able to have access to the information I mentioned just because you work for someone?

Umm, yes? My contact information is attached to the business names I trade under? Which is publicly available information.

Is this an alien concept to you?
