If you sort the wheat from the chaff, I think there's still a valid issue there. It's just being wrapped in divisive crap as is the trend.
In Ireland we had a brief period where the difference between tax on personal and commercial vehicles was significant enough that it paid off to register yourself as an LLC/sole-trader and get a pick-up. That loophole was swiftly plugged.
This genuinely sounds extremely similar - the loophole is more attractive than the incentive.
