I don't see how owning a domain could possibly be anything like running a company.

Just by incorporating you take on resposibility of paying taxes, accounting, submitting regylar reports, etc. Presumably you will be selling something, and people need to have an address for recourse. That 'address' could be a PO box somewhere, or be in a tax heaven.

By contrast owning a domain does not obligate you to do anything in society, and doesnt affect anyone life.

Most people register a domain to have a custom email. Why should you have the right to deanonimise that?

If you are concerned about hatemail: you can send real post anonymously, with a postage stamp, though an unattented mailbox. I can even put somone else's return address on it.
