We allow those protections to allow people to take business risks without taking significant personal risk.

This encourages entrepreneurship. I don't think you'd see as many people trying to build widgets if they had to put their family's home on the line.

In exchange for those protections, we get widgets.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that LLC / incorporation has no benefit to society, it plainly does. I was responding to the conjecture that it's society at large that writes the rules. I figure the stakeholders writing the laws are the people who have the most to gain.
