1/The simple answer is that everything comes down to multiple of 2's. Either you play by the plethora of rules in a pay 2 play closed system we winkingly call "the free market," or you don't.

People generally choose the winkingly called "free market" over a genuine one... https://twitter.com/JimDelRey/status/1347336075635810308
2/There was a time when the primary tenets of capitalism were:

1 - a free and unregulated market
2 - massive competition
3 - a standard currency by which all can agree upon the value

Today, corporatism is widely accepted as being an undeniable element of capitalism...
3/The rules have obviously changed and your question suggests they've been changed to close this winkingly called "free market." Occasionally an Uber will upend the taxicab medallion scheme, but even Uber is operating under a heavily regulated marketplace where competition is...
4/...frowned upon as the currency continues its steady devaluation.

It is understandable why most choose to go w/the flow and simply play by the ever changing rules of this winkingly called "free market." The other option comes w/uncertainty and a guarantee to be called crazy.
5/What does happen if people simply decline to apply for a business license to begin w/? No legal fictions or business structures, just sole proprietors doing business?

Multiples of 2's; either that business will immediately attract the attention of the state, or it will have...
6/...time to flourish and prosper b4 the state attempts to destroy it. Both options lead 2 the same conclusion; the state attempting to destroy the business.

However, take a look at what's going on now under lockdown. Taverns, saloons, cafes and restaurants being shutdown...
7/The middle class has been systematically destroyed during this lockdown and part of that destruction was the state yanking licenses to do business.

Is this what conservatives want to conserve? There is no simple path. There is however, the true path. Choose wisely.
