No, not at all. The question was:

> Can you give me an example of something businesses do which isn’t political?

And thus I gave 2 examples. A small business can also incorporate if they wish. And yes, the bigger a business gets, the hairy things get politically if they want to stay neutral or simply true to their business model, but they are not mutually exclusive.

You've never actually opened and ran a bike shop have you?

Even just the zoning, taxes and permitting process alone will be political.

I'm loving seeing all these responses. They're hilarious.

There's no difference except size. Facebook and Google were small businesses once.

That’s the argument imo.

That if you took Apple, Google, Facebook and started them today under appropriately matches circumstances... they would all either be purchased for meager amounts or put out of business.

I believe in free markets, but also monopoly wrangling. FAANG will absolutely work against the very landscapes they came up in.
